    Even though it doesn't have spice I still feel awkward listening to the audiobook in public, because I'm constantly giggling and blushing. The tension is so tangible. I'm in love with this book

    I love all love stories since I am a hopeless romantic, add fantasy world and I am there in a heartbeat, but since I don't like the books everyone tells me it is like I am nervous.
    Fourth Wing meets Hunger games? I get so stressed with dystopian books I can't enjoy them, and Fourth Wing had cussing every single page. I could not get to the first quarter because it pulled me out of the book and I was not invested in the characters.
    I want to enjoy this book but I have no idea if it is for me or not with mixed reviews. Please don't hate me for this comment since I am the minority of very popular books, they just were not for me. I would love to read this, I just... Don't know. 😔
