Initially borrowed the book looking forward to reading some good smut, and was pleasantly surprised by the overarching plot and world-building. It's definitely interested me enough to want to read the other books in the trilogy.

However, I will note that it isn't quite as 'dark' as it might advertise to be; it's a little past vanilla but nothing terribly hardcore.
