• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

first two thirds of the bill is incredibly dark, graphic confinement, misogyny, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical violence, gaslighting. Do not tread into this lightly.

the series could have ended here and I'd be happy with the character developments and plot resolutions.<Spoiler> JLA has one final book for this series coming out may 7, 2024. It's nice to know that's there's a release date already planned so fans don't have to wait ad infinitum for the resolution of the series

5.0

The 40-50 pages of straight smut was too much. The first 70% was so fast paced, and then things got sad and smutty. It did prove that what was done for Soul of Ash and Blood can be done in approximately 3 chapters.
