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!

Reads like an ACOTAR Fanfic. Could have been much better if the authored had slowed down a bit. Too short in areas to get  attached to characters.

Smut was two blunt sentences per scene, not compelling at all. And having a bunch of dudes sexually harass FMC isn’t poly wtf 😭 MMC was all brooding without the secretly being a sweetheart part. I can’t believe this is like a 6 part series. Found through authors instagram reels.

A disappointing read, unfortunately. The characters are very flat and the MC is particularly disappointing.
She goes from illiterate, abused domestic slave to confident semi military ruler with seemingly no trouble or self doubt at all.
Honestly, there are far better dark romances out there. I will say, I did appreciate the hint of queer rep but it was very much just a hint.

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.
