It was a pretty classic Romantasy. It was interesting to see how this human was going to be valuable and become indispensable. It took me a while to get into it but after 50% I was hooked and enjoyed the experience and the love stories and betrayals. I probably won’t keep going with the series but I did enjoy this one!

i LOVE this book with a burning passion. i was a bit confused by some of the wording, so i did have to reread like 2 pages. it physically hurt me to put this book down, and i finished it in about 12 hours and 39 minutes. (i’m a fairly slow reader, don’t bully)
