As someone who was raised Catholic, I really appreciate the portrayal of the path to recovery from religious trauma. The ups and downs of Tamsin’s journey of self-discovery and forgiveness accompany her already difficult situation as a captive and pawn in a war against her kin. The spice was also excellent. I read part of this on a plane ride and turned my screen brightness ALL THE WAY DOWN. While some might feel frustrated that Tamsin goes back and forth from feeling free and embracing herself and her newfound life to experiencing crippling bouts of doubt and self-loathing, I think it quite accurately portrays the difficulty of re-writing your own narrative when you have been told one thing your entire life. My biggest issue with this book is the number of times the author used the word “unselfconscious” - seriously, so many times. But other than that very minor thing, this was an excellent read and I can’t wait to read the next book!

You know those books you don't want to finish because they're THAT GOOD?!? This is one of those books! I loved the dynamic between the characters in this Viking Omegaverse reverse harem, and the I seriously can't wait to read more! I'm looking forward to seeing how Olaf comes out of his celibate shell.
