this book had potential, but i didn’t enjoy it much. i liked the story but the way the story is written is confusing imo. for a moment, i even considered to dnf it. the whole idea was intriguing, but it was badly executed. the pace alternates between really slow chapters that bore you to death, and really fast chapters that very much confuse you. i wasn’t interested at all in learning about the past timeline, which was very important for the story. my curiosity was specifically for the present one. tbh, i think the laziness of the writing is what makes you lose interest in the story.
honestly, it was hard to connect with the characters. i found jericho to be very manipulative and really possessive (and not the hot kind). hello stone age? i didn’t like him when he was just a baron either.
farryn was just bland. she didn’t give me any emotions whatsoever.
overall, this felt like a lost erection. i’m kinda disappointed ngl, i expected better. honestly, idk if i’ll ever read the second book because i’m not dying to know what happens. i just don’t care.
onto the next?😃
