So it pains me to write this review. I rounded it up to 3 stars because it hurt me to leave it at 2.
Let me start by saying that Herculeia’s books is a masterpiece. It was a five star read for me and I absolutely adored it. Which is why when I noticed that Iola had her own book with her own monsters I was extremely excited and got the audiobook at once, unfortunately for me the book just didn’t deliver.
I have to admit that I was not interested in the plot at all, I found it a bit boring, and I was just not invested in the outcome.
The romantic aspect was just lacking for me, one of the love interest absolutely hates Iola and is an asshole during the whole book so I can’t really understand where the falling in love came from. Jör felt like the protagonist most of the time, and I did adore him, and then Fen’s distance just didn’t make sense, it was just all over the place, I was just very confused, I didn’t feel the love, I didn’t feel the romance, I didn’t see character development, I just put it at 2X, so I could finish it quickly and get it over with honestly.
I do want to point out that I absolutely absolutely adore Rochelle‘s books and if anyone reads this book as their first one, this shouldn’t discourage you from checking out her other stories because for me, they are all five star books, unfortunately it was a miss for me on this one.
