The main leads are really sweet and great together. Their romance progresses beautifully and their own vulnerabilities and how they open up and depend on each other is just lovely to read.The side characters are also built up well and multi faceted; teared a few times from some of the more tragic stories.My only gripe with this novel is that I struggled to understand what was going on 10-20% of the time. It’s a very complex story and world building and I couldn’t fully grasp some of the key points, which affected my appreciation of the story.Spoiler
I still don’t get why ML has the physical constitution to become a root, like where did he come from? Why did his body react the way it did to the immortal wine? Also, for MC, I still don’t get how Children of Desire are created. Like are they natural born ‘monster material’ imbued with desire from birth??
[collapse]Besides my confusion, I did enjoy the story’s ups and downs and the smatterings of dog food. The unveiling of vests in the beginning were also very up my alley.Almost favourite, might re-read (if I do, hopefully I get a better understanding?).
