I didn't like the writing style of this book (dialogue is juvenile and a little too modern, writing feels very tell-y, any foreshadowing that happens earlier in the book is signposted when it becomes important like babes I can use my brain) but I enjoyed the worldbuilding and some of the character relationships. It was a bit too focused on the men of the story for my liking

adventurous dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

As someone who loved The Witch's Heart, I had high hopes for this. It unfortunately doesn't come close to how much I loved the author's previous work, but I still really enjoyed it. Love that one character is explicitly demi-sexual with stating how they can't do intimacy without really knowing someone first (love the ace/aro rep) and one character is trans. Overall loved the story and the little twists/reveals. The main characters are good as well even though they frustrated me at times throughout. Many of the minor characters were great though.
I will say there are a lot of slow spots for me and I didn't have the same intense emotions reading it as the authors previous book, and those are big reasons it wasn't a 5star read like The Witch's Heart for me. I will still totally look forward to any books or work this author does in the future!
Check trigger/content warnings although nothing was super graphic stuff was still detailed and mentioned.
