CW: abuse

I was so determined to not dnf another book. But after four days and not even getting through fifty pages, I just can’t keep going. Dnf, page 47. Normally I get at least a hundred pages in, but this was honestly unbearable. And although I feel a bit bad about rating a book based off of 47 pages, I truly think this book deserves it.

The one good thing, in my opinion, was the world-building. In this world, there are magic storms that give magic to those strong enough to survive or beat it. It was an interesting concept, and had a lot of potential if not for the overbearing “romance.”

Admittedly, I don’t know much about the “romance,” because again, I only read 47 pages. However, what I did read was full of harmful, disgusting content. Cassius was abusive and manipulative, and the epitome of toxic masculinity. He talked of conquering Aurora, the protagonist and his bride through an arranged marriage. How do I say this? NO.

I have nothing against the author or those of you who enjoyed this book. However, I was extremely bored and I’ve got two more library books due in as many days, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
