The worst book I have ever read in my entire life. Misogynistic. Misogynistic. Misogynistic. It fully endorses rape culture. I kind of agree with it being banned even though there is no way to actually "ban" a book but I really don't care if libraries want to throw it out. I say go ahead! I don't care. This book can only cause harm. There is nothing positive you can get out of this. It is in essence a book that will harm women's mind and make them believe that they should enjoy men causing them harm, that being abused and harmed by men is "fun and sexy." It is a tool of the patriarchy. I kind of wanted to set the copy I owned on fire but I just let it go into the dumpster since setting a fire would be dangerous.

What started out as a slow Beauty & the Beast retelling defied my expectations by building a world the story explores. What made this four stars, however, is the pacing of the book. It gets slow at times, and the last 100 pages were so action packed and thrilling, it felt like I was reading a different book. I’m hoping the pacing of the latter is what will carry on to the rest of the series. Overall this was really fun and I am exciting to venture further into Pythian.
