I wasn’t really here for anything super detailed or heavy in plot. I was here for the reasons I suspect everyone else was. It’s just that a book can have a dark romance without it being forced/unwanted (it can happen, I promise, you can have a dark and mysterious prince that respects boundaries but can still be sinful, ya dig?) and it seemed like the narrative wanted something forbidden like that but just missed that mark. Like, really missed the mark. I don’t know how I finished this, but it’s been a rough month. Maybe catharsis?
