Graphic: Blood, Child death, Bullying, Infertility, Death, and Torture

Moderate: Suicide attempt, Violence, Toxic relationship, and Suicide

Minor: War and Infertility

Few scenes are tense but nothing unbearable. Child/suicide spoiler-

child abuser and death in one scene depicting the kid being turned into a goblin. Kid wished his baby sister dead and the prince skinned him and turned him into a goblin as payment. Many side characters encourage female main to complete suicide to prevent a war and genocide. Assassination attempts happen and in the end she surrenders .

mentions of rape and her worries of such but one scene is questionable but no actual rape. She’s never illicitly tortured but stuff happens around her. Female main is infertile. Not a spoiler but just as a trigger warning.

This series has so much potential. It is a true fae fantasy experience wehre the Seelie are not kind and everything comes with a cost. Words must be chosen carefully and everything is a game. I resonated with the heroine, felt her hopelessness and the tedium of her task. I am surprised at how the book ended. V [the main male character] is hard to like [which is the nature of Seelie fae]. Im curious to see where the story is going and where it could go.
