Felt a bit rushed I would have liked more details I just think the FMC in general like even in the main books doesn’t have much going on good or bad so a book soley about her was a risk but maybe if they showed us more things it would have been better

WHY? WHO had the AUDACITY to say this short novella was written to understand Taryn’s pov better? I don’t know about you all but I hate her even MORE after reading this. My freaking Beyoncé (yes, she’s my only religion), I didn’t know I could hate a character SO much.
You are telling me, Taryn dear, that you’re choosing a man over your other half aka your twin sister??? A man that’s not even worth your fucking time!!!!!!!!! Like be fr girl when did you decide Locke was the love of your life?😂😂😂 grow the fuck up. That’s not the worst part though, because YOU blamed Jude for all the bullying she was receiving, and why? Because she was strong enough to defend herself???? This is why spanish is the best language to curse because EN QUÉ COÑO ESTABAS PENSANDO PUTA LOCA????? I don’t have enough words to describe my hatred towards her, omfg😭. You’ve tried to fit into a world where you’re not welcomed and yet you decide to get manipulated by your sister’s bully… Men are not that worthy/important honey, trust me, and you made it even worse by forcing Locke to marry you… I hope you get what you deserve in the next books.
This is the worst “apology” I’ve ever read in my entire life. This is just Taryn looking for someone to pity her, and she just doesn’t deserve Jude at all. I have so many more things to say about this but I’ll stop here before I throw my phone through the window.
Regardless of all of this, Holly Black’s writing is amazing (again) and I can’t wait to keep on reading not only this trilogy, but the other books about the Faerie world.
