I love a good fantasy, litfic, dystopia, or historical fiction. I love some good worldbuilding and I have elite taste.

It's an alright book so far. Not bad. I feel pretty ok about it. From what I'm reading right now, it could be a solid 3-4 star. Hasn't wowed me. Will wait to see. It feels like a pretty standard dystopian. Cool things that aren't fully explained on how this even works. Guy and girl who "totes" don't like each other (but totally will). Mentor figure (that could be evil/good). Standard stuff. Kinda stupid names. Like seriously? The jock's name is Kohl? Like the eye thing?
Weird fact: every book I have every rated 1 star mentions kohl. Every single one. And it's because white authors don't want to say "she put on eyeliner" and instead want to be special and say "she dabbed kohl on her eyes". Because ✨ ️fantasy✨️. So that gave me bad vibes.

This is straight ass. No joke. It didn't even take like 10% for me to see that. It's embarrassing she even published this. Let's start with the terrible worldbuilding already. 1. Why tf are they called Imperials when this is a kingdom? Explain that dummy. 2. The Trials are fucking stupid. Genuinely so unnecessary. And then the romance. Talk about immature and childish. If I wanted to read Wattpad flirting, I would. Which is why I'm reading this book. God I love a good hate read. And don't get me started on the childish prose. The alliteration and rhyming alone makes this sound like it was written by a fourth grader for fourth graders. I love this for making it so easy to laugh at and make fun of. God this is corny. I'm so ready for this.

Genuinely just read it. It's so good. The MC is super boring but it works because the general boring vibe of the whole book is cozy in a creepy way. The way it ends shocks you honestly. Some twists were predictable. Others weren't. The characters are interesting people (mainly Rebecca and Maxim). Frank is described as boring but boy he isn't. I don't know what happens to the unnamed MC (btdubs if I had a nickel for every unnamed MC that has a bond with another woman that reads both toxic and sapphic in a weird way that I've read in February, I would have 2. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice?) Well made, well written, good book. Ending is super shocking. It's a great first classic honestly.

This was so fucking amazing. Like OMG. Wow. So freaking good. Amazing plot, amazing character, complex emotions, lesbian relationships written in a realistic human way that understands that nobody is 100% perfect and neither is a certain type of relationship, and just the nuance of it all. It's perfect. Add a Mandate of heaven on top, and it's a HEAVEN-ly book.
