A review by imskylow
The Rebel King by Kennedy Ryan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.
Bruh, you cannot cover up the fact she has serious PSTD with horribly cringy dirty talk and sex. Like have some restraint, Maxim. Actually say no and actually make sure she’s alright. Railing someone isn’t going to take away the trauma. I just feel like this book really reduced their relationship down to their base urges rather than show them loving each other in lots of different ways. Because of that, the smut just wasn’t good. It felt like I was the only one that had a modicum of concern for the situation and as a reader that was frustrating. Lennix is willfully ignorant of danger and her own trauma. Maxim is too revenge hungry and wants to manage everything. And both of them avoid communicating seriously by banging relentlessly.
