rated 2/10: unreadably bad
Do not read this book.
I've had another look at the book. As far as I can see -- there is no hint that this story is "to be continued".
Half a page of trigger warnings -- but no warning that this is not a complete book.
In the final few pages: the assassination fails. It was all a trick set up by King Joon.Aeri is the King's daughter. The Five are forced, by Joon, to go and steal the golden ring from Euyn's evil sister. It seems to be an impossible mission, They are given just five weeks -- or, one more book.
And that book is due to be published in January 2025. I doubt that it will conclude anything.
What a crock.
Oh, yes, I seem to have provided some unannounced spoilers. So what. It's a rip-off by the publishers, readers are already cheated, what's a few more spoilers.
So... Ty and Sora grow to love each other and successfully have sex, despite her poisons. Ty ends the book in the dungeons. Aeri and Royo are in love, Joon disapproves. Mikhail and Euyn have always been in loveEuyn is illegitimate so not a real member of the royal dynasty. Mikhail's beloved foster father is held hostage by Joon. Oh, and no-one else seems to know that Aeri is a successful thief because she has a magic trinket which allows her to stop time for everyone else.
Do not read this book. Which is a pity -- with an honest publisher I would have rated it nine. As it is, this book is *&%$# annoying.
Unreadable.
