I read the whole thing, so I liked it well enough, but there just wasn't enough romance for what I was in the mood for. It was really more historical fiction than romance fiction, at least in this first volume. It felt very bogged down in historical politics I wasn't smart enough to keep up with.
Graphic: Ableism
Minor: Misogyny and Gore
Spoiler
One explicitly detailed scene of a man impaled.
