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!

The banter between characters is so fun and good, and I think the author clearly highlights things that are so appreciated in literature. Her writing clearly showcases consent and nuance, and I think it's really refreshing when it comes to communication in that way. There's some other miscommunication and other minorly irritating things, but it is a trilogy and I expect to see it cleared up in the future.

I think the magic hasn't been fleshed out much, but I think we'll see more of that in the rest of the trilogy.

This was a great book. It dealt with a lot of very heavy topics and dark themes. It explored and showed so much typical fantasy romance novels don't really venture into.

I really, REALLY wanted to love this, so this breaks my heart to DNF. I love this author’s other work - this one was just not for me. There are a lot of mental health TW for this book so please do your research ❤️
