Patience

I have complaints.

1. Why would you name an MC a god-tier name like Ferenc then let him be okay with being called Ferry. FERRY? Honestly this name is eight ninths of why I couldn't take this book seriously.

Idk the name just sounds so silly yet Ferenc could have been so good.

Ferenc sounds like a man that would wait for you for 4000 years and through 70 deaths. Ferry sounds like he wants a long distance minimum effort casual hookup.

2. I feel like the best bit was the prologue. The heartbreak and hopeless pining??? 10/10 setup. Sadly I feel like the rest of the book didn't quite live up to it.

3. Too many side characters, many of whom were clearly cameos from another series because this is a book 1 in its own series. Maybe I'd have been less nagged if I knew them, but as it was, just felt like too many cooks.

4. Why does Leo keep dying OMG Ferenc doesn't deserve this, he deserves to be swaddled up like a cute baby burrito and just have his man be safe for the first fucking time in millenia, is that too much to ask for? Note- this one's not so much a genuine complaint as it is death fatigue. Like just STOP dying. This is not a big ask for an MC.

Overall, meh on this. Deeply curious about Sebastian and Matty so I'll probably read that one. Maybe the Danny one too.
