4.5
- 🌶️3.5 . There was alot of great tension and well written spice. It felt like an adult wrote these scenes and they were well done.
- This is like if Bridgerton, the show Lucifer, and the Fae universe had a baby. The world was super interesting.
- The book was difficult starting but once you are past the first couple of chapters you won’t be able to put it down. It sucks you in to the game being played.
- The plot twists were EXCELLENT and kept coming.
- Honestly, this could be a 5 star read I just don’t love plots about games, but this was by far one of the best conceptually.
- This can be read as a standalone or a part of the authors universe. I read it as a standalone and had no trouble following anything.

5.0
The Story is very spicy so be aware of that, however wether that is your thing to read or not the adventure is very page turning .
I would have liked to hear more descriptions of the worlds throughout , it was way more about the people but the atmosphere was captured well and I definitely want to read the follow up later in the year.
It was a no hesitation 5!

What I liked
- Dialogue is fun, witty, and clever
- Flirting game that ran throughout the book. It made the sexy parts WAY hotter
- Court Intrigue is fun, esp the relationships between the princess of sin
- The book is a game/tournament/challenge plot line, and the contest is well crafted
What I didn't like
- It's a long book, which I don't really mind. It makes it a slower read, but it also doesn't feel like it drags anywhere. I did reach chapter 69, which I thought was the last one, and was like "Ha! Ending on 69!" But I was wrong, and there were about 5 more chapters that I did kind of think we didn't need :D
- Some of the courts of sin have a backdrop of lots of people having public sex, and that ceased to shock or charm me in any way a loooooooong time ago
This is the first of the series, and I will probably not continue right away because it was a LOT of emotional whiplash, and I need to go read a rom com for aftercare or something
