A re-read
For me this was a super easy read because I’ve read it at least twice and have seen the tv show and movie so I know this story (book 1) really well.
I find the writing style super easy to get into, and I love the urban fantasy that this follows - not too heavy on the world building because it’s set in our world. Magic realism is definitely my preferred sub genre of fantasy as I don’t have to imagine too much.
However funnily, in this re-reading, I found the main romance a bit too instant love for me. In the show and the movie, I saw the two characters chemistry on screen but in the book I don’t feel it so much.
Obviously the plot twists aren’t twists for me as I know the story but it is a refreshing take on the romance and I can still appreciate them!
This is still a series I would recommend!
