This was actually a fun read and better than I was expecting. There were a lot of details that made the main character feel genuine and realistic and I appreciated that a ton. Even the relationships were surprisingly sweet in some aspects. The romance is very fast-paced and somewhat instant, but that is also somewhat evident from the story summary so I am not disappointed because I knew what I was getting into. There were only a couple of dramatic moments that sort of messed up the immersion for me because Wren would do something that should have been way more difficult to do, but I don't mind that much and the story writing is pretty good for the most part. My main gripe is that the ending happened extremely fast and was confusing because of it. I am also not a huge fan of the blood scenes, but the magic (and sensual) elements surrounding blood and how it is used are definitely interesting and good for the less queasy. I really liked some of the characters, and overall, this was a fun and gripping story that I want to continue!

Good plot, interesting premise, horrendous ending.
Basic points of the premise: is technically post-apocalyptic, the apocalypse was caused by demons and magical beings taking over the world, all humans in existence have been enslaved for generations over 600 years at least.

Some of these tags don't exactly fit because the book is high fantasy, but the theme of the tag is in the book.lanorton's review against another edition

I surprisingly liked this book. The first part really had me question but it got good. On spice level there is only a couple ok scenes. I give it 3/5 spice. It is a clif hanger but the second book is out and on KU.
