God, I SO wanted to love this. The premise was so exciting and fun and, like ... a black, curvy, female protagonist of a fantasy book?? Since when does THAT happen?!
I just ... the writing wasn't great. Being fully honest, it was bordering on bad. The whole thing had an air of 2012's 'Oh my GOD I'm soooo RANDOM' which made me cringe, and the author seems to have a blatant disregard for commas and their brilliant uses.
I very quickly fell in love with Fallow, which was unfortunate, as when it got to the NSFW scenes we learned that demons don't really have a word for 'consent' - which was played off as hot, but just made me feel kinda weird.
That all being said, it was funny, and oftentimes charming, and not an unenjoyable book. I'm definitely disappointed because, even without all the hype, I wouldn't have been happy with this book - but as it stands, my quest to find a fun, hot, hilarious and diverse fantasy book continues.

I really had a good time with this story! The reluctant heroine is badass, funny, witty, and her own, strong woman, who makes a pretty damn amazing adventurer even if that was the last thing she was looking for. And then there's her own personal demon, who is a gorgeous, sexy, possessive, madly in love dr... Well, you'll just have to read the story to find out exactly what kind of demon he is. 😈 Together, they get up to all manner of heroic, swashbuckling deeds, while Cin fights her undeniable attraction to Fallon.
I was hooked from the beginning and I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

From the inside of the book: "This book contains light BDSM, dub con, violence, mentions of sexual violence (no rape or sexual assault occur. It is mentioned in conversation.), and sexually explicit that could trigger certain audiences."rensreading's review against another edition

hot demon turning out to be a dragon? double check
dragon mates and their mating practices? triple check
i’m sold. one of my fave spicy novels so far. is it still layered with microlevels of misogyny and violence against women? yeah. at the very least, its easy to ignore or completely miss. either way, it’s still better than other spicy novels i’ve read.
anyway its like 3am so im giving this 4 stars and heading to bed. have fun with this one everyone!

two side characters threaten to sexually assault cin after they leave the swamp. lots of limbs are lost and people are brutally killed by fallon often too. the gaslighting also refers to the goddess, not any of the other characters (except maybe glen) kink warnings include: spanking, light bondage, praise kink, dirty talk, asphyxiation, (seemingly) unprotected sex, and d/s undertonesnebulasaurus's review against another edition
