On to the review:
Eh. It wasn’t the best… it wasn’t the worst. Some of the characters made me really frustrated (elain😑) and I don’t really know who I was rooting for. I joined booktok and had the rest of the series ruined for me immediately with spoilers so I won’t read the rest. Okay that’s the end. Very anticlimactic
Moderate: Confinement, Sexual content, Suicidal thoughts, Torture, Toxic relationship, Violence, and Stalking

*[also: problematic gender portrayal, problematic tropes - traditional alpha male behaviour, such as possessiveness and animalistically coded desire, issues of iffy (and in cases utterly absent) consent, reinforced heterosexuality.]* She can do a much better job depicting trauma without sensationalizing it.

Normalized abuse and toxic relationships trope.
