Please don’t hate me for this review, lol. There’s actually a lot to love about this book! For starters, it has some really great world-building — I loved learning about how everything works: how the different types of beasts live alongside each other and with humans, how the system functions, and just how unique and different everything felt. That really helped me get into the story.
Buuut… sigh. I don’t know what happened. There were things I really liked, but also a long list of things that just didn’t work for me.
On the plus side, the story wasn’t rushed, and there was a lot going on. The characters all had distinct personalities, and I loved the glimpse into the male lead’s past and seeing what made them the way they are. The friendship between the characters was also a strong point — I loved seeing the main character have someone to lean on.
But on the flip side... I found the pacing a little draggy at times. I caught myself drifting off while reading, then having to stop and reread just to understand what was happening — and even then, I was sometimes still confused. I wanted to love it. I almost did. But for everything I liked, there was something that pulled me out of it.
So unfortunately, I’m really on the fence with this one. It was a good read, just not a great one — at least for me. I know a lot of people absolutely love it, and I totally get why, but for me, it was kind of more of a miss than a hit.
Would I recommend it? Nah
Would I read it again? Nope
How would I sum it up? A solid setup with strong world-building, but didn’t quite land for me.
