While some of the thematic elements were a little heavy-handed at times, I felt like overall it was an appropriate amount of screaming "Down with the Patriarchy" until throats bled. And if that description was too visceral...you might not want to read this one. I had some spoilers from reviews when it came to the main love interest plots, but even still I found that part of the book enjoyable.

I LOVED this book. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars for me is that I didn’t know it was YA going in and I felt like the tenderness between the characters could’ve been elevated with more detailed intimate scenes rather than fade to black! That being said, if you’re not into spicy scenes then this is a 5 star read hands down. I cannot WAIT to start Heavenly Tyrant 😍😍

**PLEASE watch your TW this book has a LOT of stuff in it**
