This was my first dive into any sort of “smut” related media since my watt pad days (if you know, you know). I had heard of everyone speaking of it but didn’t read it sooner since the thought of reading smut was A LOT for me personally. However, this book was not what you’d assume typical smut is at all. This book is full of adventure, a troubled female main character, magic, wonder, intrigue and the writer makes it so beyond easy to delve yourself entirely into this world! The characters are diverse and are described perfectly. You’re able to see how much love and thought was most likely put into them all and the pages just ooze passion to me. I immediately purchased the entire box set after ordering just this first book. It’s pacing is perfect and the author leaves you wanting more after every chapter. Please do give it a try if you’re a lover of fantasy and romance and need a mental get-a-way!!
