This story was nice and the drawings are frankly beautiful! But I will say that I think there’s a lot of drama, maybe too much drama for the length of it. Which means that it felt like the story should have spent more time on some aspects - like Carlyle’s twin brother is evoked a bit abruptly and then settled a bit abruptly as well, and it’s just such a sad and horrible thing that it should occupy a bigger part. It’s a bit the same feeling with other aspects of the story. Overall it was still a nice and sweet read, but it’s not my favorite. The drawings do raise its rating a bit.
I guess I’m happy to have read it as it was overall working pretty well and it wasn’t this hard to read (as it’s relatively short) but I don’t think it’s the kind of story that I’ll come back to reread.

I really adored this story for many things. It’s very satisfying to be honest. The way Jaina goes through every plan and every time successfully destroys Angela is really really enjoyable to read. You could think it gets boring when it’s this long, but not at all. It’s actually really good. I like this story because Jaina is strong and powerful, she has wits and she manages to make use of her future really well. On the other hand, I also enjoy the way she doesn’t return to her former fiance. He’s very pitiful for sure but I like it. Too many times in those stories the girl go back to her fiancé as if nothing happened, even if he killed her. It’s refreshing to see how she actually kept trauma from it and how it stops her from liking him again, from making everything go back to once it was. I was hoping so badly for Dane and Jaina to end up together and was happy when it happened. The relationship between Jaina and her dad is also very sweet. So this story has a lot of positive aspects really and I will come back to reread it. I didn’t want to finish it truly!
