DID NOT FINISH: 29%

The book was definitely not meant for me. I didn’t like the writing and there was not really any plot that I could see. I went into it thinking it was going to be something completely different,

This was a sort of fun read, with a terrible ending. It read very young. Paisley “figuring it out” didn’t fully make sense.

I was a little disappointed by this one. It felt more character driven and not much happened. The reveal of the moonflower was interesting, but the rest just kind of fell flat. I did like Harristan’s development… I was literally kicking my feet, it was so cute.
