A good story, interesting characters, but wish more was included on history of the various demons. It was hard to envision a world were the humunoid and animal characters were combined for some, but not all.

I liked it, it just wasn’t outstanding. I felt like the romance was a bit underwhelming and underdeveloped. I did really like our main character Lei and our two secondary characters Wren and Ankoi. I’ll probably pick up the next two books but I’ll borrow them from my library rather than purchasing them

I have mixed feelings about this book. Mostly I think it wasn't really for me - it was a bit heavier than I would like, though I appreciate the generally happy ending. The main flaw with the book is that the world building doesn't quite work, and I kept being distracted by that. At least part of the issue is that these girls are only in the harem for a year but they aren't allowed to leave the palace after and the crown compensates their family to the degree they complete to sacrifice their daughters *and* this has been going on for centuries. That aside the characters are interesting and the action is good. Choices that characters make mostly make sense. I'm happy with where the book ended and I wish I hadn't read the epilog, as it adds a cliffhanger and I have no intention of reading the sequel.
