I had FUN. There was a bit of an erasure of FMC's personality and a few things were definitely unoriginal but I still had FUN.

Neurodivergent, chronically ill AND 30? Pinch me.
This was excellent, despite being just a novella, it was fully fleshed out - would absolutely read more of it.

OI THIS WAS FUN!! Not the most original, but FUN!! The last few chapters were a blur. I love trials and what they do to characters - is that awful?

Loved some, hated some.
The main theme of "dangerous" was heavily watered down, and served as a mass spoiler, tbh.

Like most of Olivie Blake's books, this was a LOT. Some parts were convoluted, erratic and chaotic, which fit BEAUTIFULLY in the mania narrative.
Holy shit though, may this love NEVER find me.

I had a solid good time! I LOVED the gothic atmosphere of the campus, the mystery surrounding the island, the past experiments, the science and biology talk, the autopsies - it felt like an old episode of Xfiles and made for a fast and unpretentious read.

Buckle in because I have thoughts.
Mild spoilers ahead.
First off, you can't put dragons in a book and use them solely as sentient taxis. That is a sin.
Now a positive: Kaan! Kaan was great. We love Kaan. Kaan is the perfect MMC, even. Kaan was definitely THE highlight of the book.

This was so captivating. The depiction of a medieval town, in all its bleakness, without the usual glamour of Fantasy. Add bigotry and religious trauma.

Better than Bride, Serena is arguably funnier than Misery, and Koen is a basic cookie cutter "I'm an Alpha, I don't take orders, I deliver them", NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW FROM PAST EXPERIENCE, but yknow.
I could have done with a LOT LESS knot sexy talk. And slick. Sorry gc & discord.

The premise was fantastic, but it failed to keep me hooked as it should have. I was curious about the Norlan Nanny aspect of the story but it was so marginal that it almost didn't matter, which was a disappointment.
