i've heard a lot about this book on bookstagram but was never sure if it'd be for me but when i saw that the series is now on kindle unlimited, i had to give it a shot. although i devoured this one in about a day and loved almost everything about it, i feel like it is more of a prequel where we are introduced to auren and her world. i kinda saw the plottwist coming, but it was fascinating nonetheless and i'm incredibly curious how everything will turn out! i also thought there'd be more romance but that was lacking a bit and a lot of scenes were immensely graphic and rape was mentioned a lot which can be disturbing imo. moreover, i feel like auren is a portrayed a bit too independent and strong in the second half of the book - it just doesn't really add up for me considering she lived in a cage for 10 years. nevertheless, it was a great book and i'll start the second one right away.
