Is it the most original work I’ve ever read? No. But it’s rare to find a book with this much spice AND a coherent—dare I say, engaging and well-written—plot. Thoroughly enjoyed, will be reading the next installment!

“I know he hurt you, not just then, but before. I know there’s something very wrong that isn’t only down to him scaring you that night. And I know you want to hide from all those things, even if it means hiding from the entire world.”

This was an enjoyable read with a surprising amount of emotional depth and development. 

The world building was a little shaky--it's basically England but there's magic and fae and some things are called different things while some stay the same (Queen Elizabeth I, King Arthur, Excalibur); these things are mentioned in passing so it wasn't too distracting, but I did get the sense that world wasn't fully developed for the reader.

I sorely underestimated this book going into it. I am feeling alot of emotions rn but the female rage in this book was delicious and the mmc was beautiful. The characters are amazing the world building is great. I had no idea this was part if an entire verse but once I've finished this trilogy I'm going back and reading everything.
