"This book just went a little too slow for me. I was really looking forward to it bc of the movie. But half the book nothings really going on. Its like filler chapters in a way. I also didn’t really care for how good and evil was portrayed. I think I liked the movie better. But it was still a good book just not my favorite. It could be bc Im not the targeted audience for the book too."
"There are some really cliched and kinda cringy moments throughout the book but it’s honestly so good and keeps you on the edge of your seat and invested in the story "

"If I could pretend the first book was a standalone, I'd have no complaints. It ends with "true loves kiss" between two girls- making them vanish before everyone's eyes and sending them home. That made me think "HELL YEAH LGTBQ ENEMIES TO LOVERS TOOT TOOT!" Yeah no, think again. The second book quickly back tracks, they both get boy love interests, the only trans character (with literally no voice) dies a senseless death, constant queerbait-and-switch."
