I CANT BELIEVE THIS BOOK ISNT TALK ABOUT MORE. I had the best time reading this. if you enjoy fantasy and A STRONG AS FUUUCK FMC THEN READ IT NOW. I think it also has RH but not in this book. There’s multiple povs and an amazing world building. READ IT.

Minor: Animal cruelty

animal cruelty is for fantasy creatures. rape isn’t explicitly described (it’s off page) but is heavily referenced and alluded to throughout the novel
