whatjasread's review against another edition
Oh this was so not it
• Tristan is genuinely just a prick with a god complex and not in a hot way, like in a ‘you’re worthless’ way and it’s not cute
• there is zero chemistry and we’re so far in ??? I’m ok with a slow burn but this is glacial
• I don’t know if it’s because I wasn’t expecting historical fantasy but this is not working for me at all
TWs (until p121): death of father (before book), toxic family, alcohol consumption, smoking, drug use, nightmares, gore, decapitation (off page), sexism, scarring/body horror, bullying, blood, torture, murder
Graphic: Blood, Body horror, Gore, Murder, Death, and Torture
Moderate: Toxic relationship, Drug use, Alcohol, and Bullying
Minor: Death of parent

Spoiler
75% of the book was just Tristan’s internal monologues of how he deserved the throne, yet he’s an entitled, manipulative narcissist that tortured his followers! Who with half a brain cell would want to put him on the throne? Sara B. had the personality of a soggy waffle.Graphic: Torture, Toxic relationship, and Misogyny
