God this sucks. This is supposed to be an adult fantasy novel? Why does this read like any other YA fantasy slop I've picked up within the last two years. I keep trying to give these romantasy books a chance and they remind me again and again why I'm not all that into them. The writing is okay, some parts are really engaging, but ultimately not much happens for me to stay engaged. It's a shame because this started out fairly strong and caught my attention but I cannotttttt keep going with this.

It's just okay.

A bit boring and predictable for my liking.

Okay. Whatever the hell that was.

This was so stupid.

Sorry. My rating is entirely based on my enjoyment of the story, which was not at all. Not even a little bit. The writing style, while gorgeous, was very hard to understand and follow. I literally stopped caring, and stopped trying to fully understand, less than halfway through. I continued since the book is so short, and so well loved, I assumed it would get better. I mean, it had to, and I wanted it to, because all things considered is a book I'd usually fall in love with. I couldn't find it in me to have any empathy for Red or Blue; I found that, for the plot and concept of this book, it would be WAY more interesting to read about it. This was so boring and a little pretentious to me. I'm so sorry. I truly couldn't wait for this to be over. 

I didn't like the way this was written
