Please check trigger warnings before reading this book. This was a challenging one but at the same time so good. It was definitely hard to read especially at some parts but the characters and plot are so well done. This definitely felt more like new adult than young adult because of the themes and content which is probably why I enjoyed it as much as I did.

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

The girls are forced to become concubines to the king, so there are scenes in which the characters are forced into sexual situations.
