Why that ending tho… I feel like the plotlines weren’t well incorporated in this book but the character work is so strong and I feel like I’m starting to really care about all of them, especially Fortuna. For all that the story disappointed me at times (I seriously hope she actually hold onto to some important plot threads and fills the new plotholes she’s just created in this one) I’m definitely sticking around to read more.

read the first book and really liked it, enough to go ahead and buy the following 3. however, this one was actually painful to finish, and I've considered DNFing multiple times. 

tw - this book has an unnecessarily graphic rape scene

Meh, not much plot or character development. No need for the graphic sex/rape.

This series is the first in a long time that made me tear up despite my anti-depressants. Restless Slumber shows us a dark and desperate side to Fortuna that most fairytales would have you ignore, but she does K J Sutton writes it in an artfully intelligent manner.
