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.

I surprisingly liked this book. The first part really had me question but it got good. On spice level there is only a couple ok scenes. I give it 3/5 spice. It is a clif hanger but the second book is out and on KU.
