This was a huge let down. I’ve liked everything I’ve read by this author so far and the premise was so intriguing, but unfortunately, this kinda sucked. The first 70% of this novel is sooooo boring and slowed paced, and by the time actual stuff started happening I couldn’t get myself to even pay attention cause I was just waiting for it to be over. The two MCs are well fleshed out characters but I couldn’t stand their relationship. I truly wanted to shake Monserrat by the shoulders and make her tell Tristan to F off. The author always tends to be a bit info dumpy in her books, but usually it can still manage to be engaging. Not in this one, the plot was already soooooo slow with “build up” that I really couldn’t find myself interested in anything that was being explained. I would’ve dnf’ed, but I want to read all of her novels so…..oh well.
