Okay, this book was weak sauce. I want to say that I was told this was fairy smut, but it’s not; it’s romance with a fantasy element and that’s okay, but sheesh these characters are so unlikable.
Having already read the second in the series, I’m just going to say I’m glad I proceeded with it. Everything is muuuuch better.

WOW. My first attempt at reading fantasy after several years and I devoured this book. Very gruesome, but captivating. I’m looking forward to finding out whether the next books in these series are even better. One thing which bothered me was the riddle with an (imo) obvious answer. Might have saved many injuries and lives…
