I was disappointed how weak Aurora was as a main character. She got her strength from the men she interacted with, which disappointed me.

She’s 20 and Callum, her love interest, is in his “mid-twenties”. Some how their relationship goes from kidnapping her (saving her?) from her wedding (the king she was going to be married off to is, apparently, a friend of her father’s so the age difference throughout this novel continues to be problematic) to then falling in love with her — I don’t know why he falls in love with her.

Callum, NOT the Wolf King (yet), is the first love interest and he washes her in a tub (I had many questions about this scene but figured it was because Aurora is 20 and this was her first time being touched by show more anyone). A few nights (or weeks?) later, when they do have sex, Aurora acts like a professional even though she admits before everything that she has no experience and has never done any of this before — she experiences no pain, no tension, no issues whatsoever. There’s no blood. No issues whatsoever.

It’s so unbelievable and the fact that it was written as if it was all believable just made it such a disappointment.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the writing style and found it easy to read. The romance was great and the explicit scenes were written well. I can see where this series is going so I probably won’t read the next books, but this one was good.
Good book. Huge ACOTAR energy
