The story sets itself up rather well but lacks in character growth and without spoiling anything, the climax of the story falls flat. It was a fun read, but the lack of flushing out for the characters left me disappointed. I will say the FL's servant ends up stealing the spotlight as the better flushed out character while everyone else is sort of meh.

Starting with the FL, she is powerless, and I don't want you to think this is a con, being powerless and using it as an intense emotional struggle a character must deal with can be great for characters. The issue is her ignorance of just how useless she is and her disregard for the amount of people who are dying for her. She has this "But I must do this or that" attitude that endangers others all the time, but she never learns that you can't live life like that because it gets people killed. She never even finds a way of being helpful to those doing everything for her.

The ML, he gets a bit of back story and is offered an opportunity to overcome his demons but the author has a brain fart and can't figure out how to write that scene so you instead get a very rushed and messy ending for him. He and the FL have no chemistry and I don't know why he is the love interest.

The villain, oh my gosh this poor man deserved so much more. I feel like this story was going to get axed b.c he seemed rather intelligent, and his backstory suggest that he should be, even the build up to facing him made him seem like a person who would be hard to beat. I won't spoil the ending, but I will say he turns into a Disney T.V series villain who for no reason just starts to monologue.

The ending was just so rushed and I just wish the author would have taken or been given the time to let things unfold a little slower so that the villain could have offered some sort of growth to the characters as they sought out was to defeat him or something.

= a very happy fan girl.
