I don't care for the female lead too much, but I enjoy the rest of the characters. 

I do absolutely love the portrayal of trauma and panic/anxiety attacks. I had to pace myself because it triggered my anxiety, and to me that makes it excellent writing. 

it doesn't feel realistic that you have these super stealthy characters doing amazing feats one minute then happenly captured in the next? Hoping the next book helps explain it.

While I did enjoy this audiobook I had so many thoughts and questions. For the FMC who is highly feared, trained and high ranking, why can she not defend herself, kill Mr.rapist throughout that whole year, or come to conclusions on her own. Why give her all this training if she's not going to use it? 

I don't typically mind things being predictable but the fact that she didn't realize she was
fae, or that Sorin was the prince, or that Mr.Rapist had som thing to do with the kids disappearing
was maddening. She is so observant and at the same time, not at all observant.
