this book sucked ass lmfao. also it was weirdly preachy and self-aggrandizing about the fact that it didn't translate any of its non-english dialogue but the non-english dialogue was also terrible and also she did nothing at all with it. the french (i speak french hi) was like illegibly bad like i literally wish she'd translated it just so i can know for sure what she was trying to say lmfao

There was no disclaimer for explicit sexual content - which would have been greatly appreciated. This book is not my thing a part from my personal preferences clashing with its contents, I also found this book to be, for lack of a better word, boring. It had so many aspects that I would usually love (fae, xianxia etc.), so I'm so sad this book wasn't my cup of tea.

I hope whoever else reads this enjoys it, and thank you to Tachyon Publications and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoyed this book. Fantastical, magical and also modern earth-bound. I wish it were longer to get more info the world-building. Or maybe it will become a series? Also Natalie Naudus is the perfect narrator for this book. NSFW

More of a romance than I like, which is probably why I didn't enjoy it as much as most readers. Seemed to be a well written fantasy romance, so if that's something you like, you will probably enjoy the book.

Magic calligraphy. Half-elf agent! Faerie temp agency! Good communication skills and faith in each other. Family drama. Beautiful language. Sneaky humor. Friends to lovers. 

Shitty, mis-gendering bosses. Isolation. Mind control. Parents who prefer your siblings.
