I got excited because the rating for this was so high but it really is a let down. The story had the potential to be great, it really did. But the male and female leads lacked chemistry, not because his feelings for her were twisted into obsession, but because they had no grounds to begin with. He likes her because she was nice to his mother? Really? I don't mind when authors play the whole fated lovers concept, but that's usually because it's clear that the relationship of the two leads is substantiated by more than just their circumstances. This was not the case with this story, at all.
Aside from the romance being bad, the story development, which was truly the only reason I kept reading, just got worse an worse. The reason the fairies followed the FL was never explained, nor was her status as a God really explained. They softened her character way too much towards the end of the book. She goes from being this supposed badass who's skills are unparalleled, to not even able to land a blow against Deva? Speaking of Deva, I get that making Kihu (2nd ML) the Deva instead of FL was supposed to be a shocking plot twist, but it felt flat. So did their revival after the end. Again, the great Erudite ( or however you spell it) was able to revive both MLs, but got blown to bits in seconds and abandoned everyone?
The art is gorgeous, but a story with a 9.5 rating should have BOTH a good love story and good plot development. This had potential, but failed on execution for both. 7-8/10.
