I am really stupid.

So I was scrolling through booktok one day looking for a good fantasy romance, and I kept seeing this book pop up under whatever I put as search terms (I think it was probably spicy fantasy romance). I was , "wow A LOT of people are recommending this alongside the s of ACOTAR, FBAA, The Plated Prisoner, etc. - it must be really good!"

So I start reading it and am immediately confused. The writing feels off, the pace is inconsistent and the world-building isn't really doing it. So I go back to find these tik toks, and I discover... ALL OF THEM WERE POSTED BY THE AUTHOR. I'm not kidding when I tell you every single one that I saw was the author plugging her own book as if it wasn't her own book. Before anyone comes for me and wonders how I didn't notice it was the same girl, a lot of the tik toks didn't have her face in them!!! I was so DUPED. I totally get this was a marketing ploy, and I applaud Mads for this but also I clearly was just having a bad media literacy day to not notice this.

Anyway, this book was pretty bad I can't lie. I don't necessarily agree with the on here that it was just an ACOTAR rip-off, but either way... it wasn't very good.
