This book was such a struggle and I don't know why. I don't have any concrete criticism besides not connecting with anything. I didn't give two shits about the characters, the plot was all over the place, and all of the twists at the end were frustrating as all hell. I really don't understand the hype with this one. The love triangle was very frustrating to deal with and the resolution at the end was mind boggling.

Spoiler

Our main character falls for a demon and when he's revealed as a demon, she's hell bent on escaping (since he fucking captures her and does all of this horrible shit). Then, he tries to make amends because he loves her and she wants nothing to do with him. She ends up being with the prince (the other side of the triangle). The prince breaks off his arranged engagement at this point. Like. If you loved her, why the fuck didn't you do that before?? If it was that easy, why did you wait and do it at the very end?? Frustrating as all hell. The book ends and tries to get you to read the second one by dangling the possibility of her actually falling for the evil demon dude instead. Like. Come the fuck on.

I don't know. The writing as fine, the plot was... fine, the characters were annoying and I didn't like any of them (except for a female archer that played as a side character... I liked her). This was just not a great book and I won't be reading the sequel.

The only reason I didn't DNF it was because I previously DNFed another 500+ page book for worse reasons and I need a large book for a reading challenge.
