    Enjoyment: 3.0Quality: 4.0Characters: 4.5Plot: 3.5

    I wasn't sure about this book for about half of it. The FMC captured me almost immediately. I found her relatable, sympathetic, understandable. I don't always love revenge stories and I usually really dislike stories with a central miscommunication but this one worked for me, mostly. The tough part for me was the MMC. A lot of his choices make no sense to me. So much of his dialogue is trite and sentimental and also didn't make sense? He spends a lot of time talking around why he can't tell Coralys anything and none of his explanations are remotely satisfactory. His entire character is completely baffling to me because I'm clearly meant to think he's kind, compassionate, and sympathetic but I instead find him arrogant and a little stupid. Having to wade through so much of him making very little sense at all had me nearly DNFing but I'm glad I stuck it out! Coralys was absolutely worth it for me, and I likely will be picking up the sequel to see what happens to her next.
