I only got through the prologue before deciding I was done with this book, and thus, the series. It is possibly, the worst introduction to a romantic lead I've ever read in a romance novel.

I was really excited to read this, but I may have misjudged the tone of this story. It started off really strongly, but lost me for quite a while of the middle, and then ending strongly with the 12th volume. I'm considering rereading it later this year, just to see if I'm in a better headspace to follow along with all the seemingly random storylines, but for now it's just a disappointment. Amazing artwork though!
