i’m still unsure how i feel about these books, but darius and orion consume my thoughts when i’m not reading it so i guess i like it
i think if i went into this book with different expectations i would've enjoyed it more. i enjoyed it more than the first book, but there is little to no romance in these first 2 books and considering this is a romantasy series, that is the sole reason i picked these up. these books are LONG and if i had known that the romance wouldn't be introduced util the 3rd book...900 pages later...i just would've had different expectations.
these books are very readable and bingeable. you just want to keep reading to find out what will happen next. but the pacing is off. things get revealed and developed veryyyyy slowly. for example, 900 pages of this series and the vega twins STILL don't know what their order is or how to utilize their magic in an effective way.
the worldbuilding is also essentially nonexistent.
that being said, i will be continuing with the series as i heard it picks up in the 3rd book!
