trash. i was so excited for this book yet it lacked a soul and was born in the same trenches as where the trope-ifiction of stories runs rampant and ideas are turned into poorly developed husks of novels instead of a carefully nurtured world of life. i actually am quite horribly disappointed coz i was looking forward to reading this story. but everything was so... eh. i finished it within 24 hours coz it was at least consumable trash and not completely dry and crumbling matter. the romance was almost non-existent. this is probably a 1.75 but i gave it that extra .25 due to pity. i actually liked the trans rep here coz it wasn't shoe-horned in (*cough* unlike Most Ardently *cough*). jasper wasn't a well-developed love interest. he just felt like a tumblr post. there was sm opportunity to develop his lore w p.m but y'all fumbled gang. i'm sad.
