2.5

The setting and the main character's narration were fun, but the characters and romance were extremely underdeveloped. They fell in love in like 5 days, and I just didn't see any bonding moments where they really got to know each other. I couldn't see what they loved about each other besides finding each other hot. Fallon was too possessive for my taste, and I didn't care for the dubcon.

Appreciated the diverse cast of characters but not much else. The author was clearly going for silly and funny, but the way it landed for me was mostly cringey. The humor just wasn't my cup of tea and I felt like the author was trying too hard.

This book feels like I fell asleep while reading a romance novel as my husband played D&D in the next room.

I started out not really enjoying this, certain I would give it like a 2.5 or something. But my enjoyment started when Cinnamon and Fallon started getting along, and went up from there

Very campy and corny with fun characters and good spicy content. Even had some found family in there too

I don’t usually like romance books, but if you’re a black fantasy reader i suggest you pick this book up. I literally couldn’t put it down. Cinnamon as a character is so relatable to me as a black reader and I felt so engaged while reading this book. It did move fast but that was expected given the plot & genre. A very fun read, hilarious & if you’re a TTRPG or D&D friend, you’ll find extra fun it.

There’s a content warning for mentioned sexual violence in the beginning of the book

rapists threaten MC, but they kill them

, fantasy slavery is in 2nd arc, vomit isn’t graphic but there, alcohol isn’t extreme but a steady theme

Guys I think this might be my first 6 star in years. I am absolutely in love with this book, and the characters, and Kimberly's writing. I loved everything about this book, it was a perfect mix between insta love and slow burn. I love fallon, he might be my new favorite book boyfriend. I need to read the rest of this series immediately. I have not had a story that affected me as much as this one has in a long time. I feel like I will be thinking about this book (especially Fallon) for months
