    I take back everything I said. The same shit is being rehashed over and over; I’m bored! Stakes are hella shaky, the villain is not that mean/mad/evil, the world building is sorta sloppy and uninspired. Romance plot is fiiiiine but a slow burn requires more than just building tension for 50% of a book (aka the rest of the story has to be interesting too). I’m in too deep so I’m gonna finish but ehhhhhh

    perfect beach read - exactly the type of book i want to read while sitting in the sun next to the ocean. enjoying the predictable, low-stakes, surface-level ride so far.

    Having a tough time deciding if I want to finish this book. The plot is moving really slowly and I don't find the stakes high enough to feel invested. I love the concept but I'm really hoping it picks up soon or I might have to DNF 😔

    The narrator just said vis-count instead of vie-count, for viscount. My immersion is ruined 😂

  • Re-rating your rereads?

    Are y'all updating your ratings and/or reviews after doing a reread? Why or why not? Also: I swear there was already a discussion on here about this so I'm sorry to be redundant, but try as I might I just can't find it ☹️ if y'all have a link I'd love to look at the answers there too!
