The Serpent and the Wings of Night

World building was lacking. Didn't feel like characters were really driven toward their goals. Romance also seemed kinda instalovey and very shallow being driven by lust. A lot of repeated monologues and phrases, which made certain important moments feel diminished.

Made it to 50% and still felt lost and there was so little that happened. My list of questions just kept growing and didn't get many answers. Had to force myself to finish it to understand why everyone loved this so much.

Overall, was very intrigued by the concept but felt myself wanting more from the story and the characters.

(War of Lost Hearts was much better in my opinion!)
