Interesting story but the continuity and content errors repeatedly pulled me out of the story. The "sexual abuse turns  me on" parts were icky for me.

dark tense

2.75

The actual world and concept of this book is REALLY cool. I HATE the king MMC. If the MMC had been edited into the same concept and character but with less thinly veiled non-consent (just bc she ends up liking it doesn’t mean it’s not non consensual) this book would almost be a 4. 

I think I get what the author was trying to do with him, but he’s not redeemable to me. He’s abusive and irrational.  Luckily one of the MMC is a cinnamon roll or I would have DNFed it because I found the MMC really unbearable, and triggering, even with the cool world and story line. I want to read the rest of the series because I like the world but I can’t do it if the king MMC acts the same and doesn’t actually apologize and change.

A disappointing read, unfortunately. The characters are very flat and the MC is particularly disappointing.

She goes from illiterate, abused domestic slave to confident semi military ruler with seemingly no trouble or self doubt at all.

Honestly, there are far better dark romances out there. I will say, I did appreciate the hint of queer rep but it was very much just a hint.

zellapaige's review against another edition

adventurous emotional slow-paced

4.0

Good plot, interesting premise, horrendous ending.

Basic points of the premise: is technically post-apocalyptic, the apocalypse was caused by demons and magical beings taking over the world, all humans in existence have been enslaved for generations over 600 years at least.

Some of these tags don't exactly fit because the book is high fantasy, but the theme of the tag is in the book.
