This book made me feel a lot of emotions. It was definitely a can't-put-this-book-down kind of book. I will definitely be reading the next one!

I enjoyed this book, and definitely recommend it to any fae book lovers. I liked that the heir to the south court existed outside of the gender binary. This book is spicy, their are a couple scenes, nothing extravagant though (unfortunately 😭)

It initially feels like it's setting up to be an enemies to lovers but it was very much an insta-love which I'm not a fan of at all. Their relationship feels a flat and underdeveloped too. Because of that I felt no connection to the love interest. He's just kind of...there. Besides that, all of the plot twists were also very predictable. I guessed most of the big ones in the first few chapters which was kind of disappointing. I like unexpected reveals and nothing was unexpected. Getting a little nitpicky here, I didn't really like the main character that much. I didn't hate her but she felt very judgmental. Not in a "my life's in danger and I need to be wary of everyone way" but more so an "I'm better than everyone" way. It also seemed like she just instantly fell in love and started doing everything for a man. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read by any means but I definitely struggled to get it finished. I was really excited to read this book so I'm kind of bummed that I didn't like it as much as I thought.
