This book isn’t bad, and there’s a lot of people who would love it! It’s just not for me. 
I was a bit confused by the insta lust and there was a bit of will they won’t there where I just wasn’t sure why they weren’t? The reasons the scenes were interrupted or one character stormed off were a bit confusing. I couldn’t figure out what the conflict or issue was half the time. 
I think this would have been about a 3 star for me if I finished it and while that’s still a good rating, I’ve got SO MANY books I want to read that I just don’t have the time to finish books I’m not absolutely loving. 
I would definitely try other books by this author in the future, this one just wasn’t for me. 

I liked the first book fine, but had a few issues with it which continued in to the second book - mostly I just wanted slightly more fleshed out characters, relationships and magic/worldbuilding. 

Then the author made my FAVOURITE CHARACTER basically irrelevant at the 20%  and I realised I just didn't care anymore. Spoilers next

So I'm talking about the fact that Grey and the Dark King were the same person. For me it just didn't make sense (maybe it does later idk, I doubt it though) and I was so annoyed by the twist and the fact it felt like it was just for shock value that I couldn't keep reading. I loved Grey and Raven's friendship and it just didn't make sense!!!! It felt like just trying to retrospectively make Raven and the Dark King's relationship make more sense. I hated it. I don't mind the trope when it's done well but it wasn't in this case IMO

This book just wasn't for me I think. There were a few specific issues I had that I couldn't overlook in addition to it just not really hooking me in. Two that I can remember (I'm doing this a fair bit of time after I put it down) was one specific scene where the MC said she hated women or something to that effect (gross) and also there was a scene with blatant fatphobia. The MC was also kind of insufferable and I didn't realise she was 300 or something until she specifically mentioned it. I thought she was a teenager, she was so immature. After 50 pages I realised I just didn't care about where it was going!
