This was a super quick read I picked up from a stuff your e-reader day.
I felt the story had much more potential than it ended up being. There seemed to be too much plot to set the scene for such a short story. It was like we were rushing through many interesting things so we could get to the spice. This had enough ideas to write a full book but we just rushed most parts that added complex plot points.
I did really like the spice with our sapphic main characters and I found those parts written a bit better than others. For me, it felt like perhaps the author was more focused on writing the juicy bits and just had to get the rest out of the way for a full novella. This was my first book including tentacles and I've got to say, I wasn't disappointed in them!
The novella could've benefitted from one more extra thorough proofreading, there will always be some typos that end up slipping through but unfortunately this time there were so many that it affected my enjoyment and took me out of my story enjoyment. Some of the dialogue felt slightly clumsy, but not too bad.
I found it kind of tacky but also funny that the other Cecaelia heir was named Cecelia.
