Either 3 or 3.5 I can’t decide.

Did I know this was book 2 in a series? No. Not until I opened this page rn after I’d already finished the book. That explains a lot. Time to read book 1 ig?

They’re companion novels, but I definitely felt like I was missing some context lol

This book was definitely a fun read for Pride month. I loved the characters and I thought that they were all really well developed. The plot was fun and enjoyable, if lacking at times. Honestly, the biggest issue I had with this book was the romance. There was some good yearning, but as soon as there was a romantic catalyst, everything moved really fast. They were in love and ready to die for each other a paragraph after they admitted they had feelings for each other.

The book ended very open-endedly and left me with more questions than answers as to the world building and the flood. It might have been fine for people who prefer open ended books, but it felt unsatisfactory for me.
In the end it was a good book, and I was invested, but it fell flat and left me unsatisfied.

Did I read this in an hour? Yes. Was I correct to assume I’d regret not waiting to get all volumes at once? Yes.
