OMG this book was 🔥 . Amazing characters, amazing story amazing everything. So so good, definitely recommend

Such a unique book. We've all heard and dreamed of finding our soulmate. But what if the opposite also existed, what if we have a soulmate?
A wonderfully crafted book. Fascinating to read.

Chapter 1 was amazing, and I was sucked right in. Unfortunately, chapter 2 on became very exposition-heavy and world-building-heavy/political, and I found myself uninterested in continuing. Scenes I wanted to see were skipped/happened off-page, in favor of politics and worldbuilding. I stopped at 16% in.

For romance readers, the tropes are popular, but the execution may miss the mark. I think this will work well for those who lean into more traditional old-school fantasy, rather than romance. For that type of reader, it feels like an easy 4-5 stars if the reader can get past the modern language in what felt like an "Old Rome" setting (in language style, this leaned toward the decidedly modern "Fourth Wing").

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for the ARC.

One of the best reads for me so far!!! Soul Hate is THAT girl of a book. If I could recommend a book for a friend that loves a really good plot, be sure that this will be it.
