I'm not gonna lie, I started this book with a feeling that I won't enjoy it because it felt overhyped. So to check if my gut was right without wasting my time, I decided to listen to the audiobook while I was working. As you can see from the star I gave, I didn't really enjoy it.

⏳Things that forced me to keep on listening and not DNF: *My stubbornness; *Voice actors did a good job.

⏳Things that I rolled my eyes to: *Characters and the lack of originality. You know that Squirwards and Patric meme where he says 'Daring aren't we'? SO yeah, we have a snarky and badass FMC and a grumpy Shadow Daddy, ah yes, the originality is dead, and I'm in hell. *The story became less interesting when it started to focus on Fisher's and Saeris' relationship. I get that it was supposed to be an attraction between them, but I might need better glasses because most of the time I cringed. *I blame incels for ruining the word 'male/female' for me, but hearing it in the book made me die inside.

In short, Booktok sensations are not for me, and if you like already processed, copy of a copy, and chewed by someone else food, this book will be for you. But if you want an ounce of originality, I suggest skipping this one.
