dark emotional sad medium-paced

5.0

This series is the first in a long time that made me tear up despite my anti-depressants. Restless Slumber shows us a dark and desperate side to Fortuna that most fairytales would have you ignore, but she does K J Sutton writes it in an artfully intelligent manner.

baintexas's review against another edition

adventurous dark sad medium-paced

4.0

The books could definitely use a better editor and that’s putting it nicely. That being said, there are some underlying complexities that were surprising. I laughed, I cried, I felt tense, I enjoyed it. I think if you can get past the wandering, stream of consciousness writing, this is an exceptional feminist (sorta) adult fantasy series.
