On one hand this is a switch your brain off, easy read. Its silly, doesnt take itself seriously and is just a decent time. Ive always been a sucker for duo leads where one is 'the fake but good one' and 'the real but shit one' it's just so goofy.
On the other hand...
I just- the tropes are troping. A flirty ML who seems sleazy but 'no he isnt those r just rumors and actually hes super righteous and pure and also super powerful and hot' is like soooo 2012 wattpad. The mc is fine but sometimes her personality is inconsistent, like she'll roll over and accept people ripping into her one page then suddenly she becomes super confident and vocal the next. Im gonna keep reading it but im not expecting a turn of the century banger here, im just having some light fun.
I love the 2012 wattpad insult! Gave me a good laugh!
I gagged so hard I threw up, these last two chapters are so fucking foul I really just can't. But I cant say I didnt see it coming. I hoped and Im not a religious man, but I prayed that Ceaser wouldnt be this vile. But here we are.
On another note, the story telling is so immaculate at showing Ruby's in depth traumatic scars and that even when she knows her situation is fucked her mind and body just won't let her do anything but cope (throwing up, isolating herself, holding her tongue etc). I've seen some people be mad at her for being 'complacent' or not putting up a fight, but what I see is a woman fighting for her life with coping skills she learned as a child. She never got to experience healthy relationships, self healing or have a life to herself - in both past and present - so of course she cowers, she doesnt know anything else at the moment.
I can't wait to read more, just to see Ceaser die. Maybe a blood eagle would be good (▰˘◡˘▰)
