ok so for most of the book it was good, spice was great, plot was great. however, the ending was such a stupid plot twist. i wholeheartedly disagree with the concept that we need to start over with another reincarnated lover like dahlia was great and age appropriate at 28. 21 is just stupid

the slow burn was soooo slow. i didn't particularly enjoy the third act breakup bc i saw it coming. also i noticed that sometimes the author would refer to persephone as the goddess of spring instead of her name, couldn't really parse a pattern there but it was interesting

i loved the format of the book being through letters, took me a second to understand what was occurring but it was so good. seeing the relationship between red and blue develop and then the ending omg very very very good

edit: i'm trying to think how to classify this book for my tags in terms of the relationship and i think it would be a fxf but could also be a nbxnb bc shapeshifting, need to consult others.

i loved the spice and the little sneak peek for the next book at the end was so good. the political implications of this book are actually ridiculous and i keep forgetting there's an overarching plot.
