Easy to read. Been a while since my last Emily Henry book. Definitely a great palate cleanser too after reading high intensity pieces. Very good on the emotions this one. Loved it.

It's like someone who wanted to write this to satisfy all the dreams her teenage self couldn't fulfill. A lot of the writing development is...giving deus ex machina vibes. It feels like "oh! That's convenient." I saw a lot of the plot coming. Many things felt like they were just handed to you on your lap, and so it felt very cliched and icky when they drop. I find the idea of the plot interesting. I like the prose. But absolutely found the FMC frustrating, the MMC flat, and too many popular tropes thrown into the fray just for good book selling. We seriously need better quality FMCs in recent romantasies. Would probably be staying away from Fury Bound for a bit. Looooonggg bit.

What is it with people writing FMCs that is so abhorent of the nice things in life just because she was poor, and then after a simple makeover, suddenly realises her own reflection is "gorgeous"??? It's a trope that's getting...overrun. I get that it can be a dream for some, but really it's starting to get tiring to see. Great story so far. Just very irritating trait that is highly repeated.
