While I liked Christian and Adara I wish the book would just be clear about who or where the characters are from. It was unclear whether or not Adara was Muslim at times but it was clear that she was othered or not European. It also felt like the major conflict loomed up until almost the last chapter before being resolved quickly. The pacing didnt really work for me. I also found myself wanting to know about other characters, like Phantom or Corryn instead.
