View AllI'm getting sick of being confused about my ratings. I definitely had some issues with this book, but I genuinely had a great time reading it. I'm not sure if my standards are in hell after reading so many books that were sub par or if its finally looking like I found a romantasy I like. But I will leave this as the 4 star I feel it is.I see a lot of comments about how much of a murderous villain our MMC is and I understand why people don't like him. But I loved that aspect.I was let down about how little magic we actually saw, or the lack of witch vigilante behavior. I loved feeling stressed the entire book waiting to see who discovered who first. The romance was the correct amount of romance for me. Most of it being about schemes and spying and not love, is my preference.I will be finishing this series though cause I need to see what happens to the villain.
I liked Heartless Hunter, but it was slower than I expected, especially because I had high expectations for it. At times it felt like the story was taking too long to get to the point, which made it harder for me to fully connect at the beginning.Overall, I still enjoyed the book and don’t think it was a bad read at all. I feel like the best parts were saved for the end, and that made me want to read the second book to finish the duology.
