It’s exactly like the author notes at the beginning- this was an enjoyable smutty romance (with not much plot ).
Interesting world - I’d honestly like to know more about it.

Summary Review:
This book is probably for someone who enjoys fantasy romance with a touch of darkness. It’s a quick read with a simplistic writing style and a relatively small cast of main characters for most of the book. There is explicit sexual scenes depicted on the page and some amputation/death.
More In-depth Review:
This book is nice for a reading slump. While I personally think the book was just okay, it was easy to read and had limited world building which helped me finish my first book in months.
However, the writing is very simple. The diction is elementary and the writing style is very tell not show. Most of the plot twists I was able to figure out at the beginning of the book. The beginning of the book was slow and drawn out. It lead me to believe there was going to be a big climactic point of conflict in the novel, but it never quite got there. I had a ton of anticipation, but most conflicts were trivial arguments that were resolved in a handful of pages. Even the final conflict of the novel was quickly resolved with practically no consequences.
This novel has dark elements, but the mmc didn’t really give off lethal. There was a lot of threatening to murder people and no actual murdering happening (from both the mmc and fmc). He gave off arrogant and petulant child that resource guards.
Based on the acknowledgments at the end of the book it does appear that it is the first in a series focusing on the world presented in the book. So I believe the world will be more fleshed out in those most likely.
Overall:
While this book isn’t ranked in my top notch novels. I don’t regret reading it. It was the perfect book to get me out of the reading slump that I was in. It was mostly easy to follow and had enough intrigue to keep me coming back to it. I do have complaints about the plot holes and writing style, so I most likely won’t complete this series. However, I am appreciative to this author for all the work and effort she put into the book.

If I can give a 10 I would.
Definitely a nice, light hearted, fast-paced, no crazy plot driven story. It was a nice palette cleanse after all the books I’ve read.

This book deserves two stars but girl I love a book that's self aware, sister said this is just for shit and giggles and ngl I did giggle.
The writing was... choppy at some points and I did wonder if the smut was worth putting myself thru this but the concept of the letters as communication and fallng in love with a stranger that's obsessed with you... baby you can't deny the material. Would I ever recommend this book? never but it was a read

Author said it was just for fun and I respect that. I wish it had more depth to the characters feelings. It all just felt a bit superficial/surface level (and also seemed very confused about what is lust/sex and love).
