4.0

It took me a moment to get into it, because the beginning wasn't really for me. Mostly because I didn't realise that it was kind of a "consensual non-consensual sex" kind of situation and not straight-up rape; I was about to throw Jafar in the trash for some of the things he said. I'd definitely recommend going into the book knowing what it entailed. 
It's definitely not my absolute fave, since the whole daddy/baby girl kink really isn't my cup of tea and lowkey gave me secondhand embarrassment at times, and there were some things about the world I would've liked to know more about it. Especially what exactly Jafar's job actually was and what the fuck they were talking about when they were talking about territories. But overall, I still had a surprisingly good time reading this? And I definitely want to read the rest of the series!

CW: rape --> no actual rape on-page, but Jasmine and Jafar do have consensual non-consensual sex (Jasmine likes to be chased, and they pretend like she doesn't actually want it, but she does and it's consensual), and another character is insinuated to be a rapist
