Aiden’s character piqued my interest while reading ”Cruel King” — so I was ecstatic when I found out that the next book in the series was his!

“For the last time, it’s King.” His face is completely blank except for the
slight smirk. “You said you’ll report me for sexual harassment.”
“W-what… ?”
“It’s your lucky day. I’m making the report come true.”
bitch what the fúcḱ.

1.0
This book was terrible not just because of the blatant abuse and actual sex crimes, but because on top of all that the writing is incompetent from a technical standpoint. So much repetition, contradictions of previous information, poor word choices and terrible dialogue. We are warned in the synopsis that Aiden is a piece of shit and he is, but we were not warned that Rina Kent's grasp on how human people talk is tenuous at best.
Certain odd pieces of characterization charmed me greatly, such as Elsa reminding us every few chapters that she was an avid reader of "Chinese war books" and the conversation about Jean-Paul Sartre and the merits of existentialism that came out of nowhere towards the end.
If you like things that are not rapey, abusive or incompetently written then you will find no value in this. If, however you do love witnessing trainwrecks, I think the best way to consume this is with a friend so you can marvel in the sheer messiness together.
