I loved the beginning of the book.Note what I said, beginning.The First few chapters were promising and had very very villanous tonality and vibe, but I was a little bit underwhelmed when it came to the transition of Julieta (The first transition from many) because it was just sudden. No alterior motifs to support such a drastic change. I was a bit peeved about that but brushed it aside for the time being. My main dissatisfaction about the book is the ships and how they start.This is a book about revenge, right? A book about an evil prime minister MC who supported his daughter's "Heinous acts" (Albeit over exaggerated by the view point of the supporting characters. Seriously, who wouldn't want a homewrecking bit*h to suffer? All the while the Fiancé is supporting the homewrecking, ofc you'd be salty.) that gets abbrieved by a bunch of bumbling buffoons? If so, then why are they trying to cozy up with said bumbling buffoons? I would rather see Kharis (The ancient Dragon) x Anderheim (< tbh this was what I expected, not this >) than Jolga x Anderheim since it just goes agaisnt what the sypnosis said.A revenge plot. A revegnge plot designed to drag the "Heroes" through a hell scape before they can enjoy the "Heaven" they 'worked' for. It wouldve been fun to see such a promising story take the risk instead of compromising. Two factions, one consisting of The dragon and the villains and the other the Self-justified heroes, fighting for the last bit of happiness left in this stretch. That should've been the plot rather than "Blame it on the commoners who showed their true birth nature after losing". I'll continue to read, hopefully finding a stablizing point.I'll just edit this on what chapter I dropped this on and give a quick summary on what happened then onwards from chap 31. Though, I might not stay true to this if the book just keeps lowering in quality. If a scenario like that happens I'll just drop with with the intention of trying to forget the sausage party it became.
