Cons: put me into a 2 week reading slump, was boring, written poorly (and annoyingly) Pro: I’m invested in what happens and it was very readable. Gonna go ahead and say that I won’t be recommending this torture on anyone else though. *def read cruel prince though*

It’s a really interesting story, especially lore wise. The plot twist is exceptional. I just found the writing a bit clunky, it didn’t flow nicely for me. I also do have a hard time with moral bankrupt main characters, so if you also hate that I wouldn’t suggest. 

Low Fantasy, Romance Subplot, 1/2 🔥
