Don't read if you are sensitive to Stockholm syndrome. MC is forced to become a courtesan/prostitute, is ultimately never sexually assaulted but it is a very real possibility and there are multiple "close calls"katndrsn's review against another edition

This is one of the best examples of the enemies to lovers trope I've encountered. The character development, plot and pacing are excellent. The world-building is also interesting and rich. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

I can't with the stockholm syndrome. Some tropes should just die.
For those who don't care for that, it's a solid reading.
The world building is cool and fascinating, but wasted on the romance plot.
