I don’t think I’m the target audience. I don’t mind thinly disguised erotica, but if you’re gonna have muscled (presumably hung) male fairies lounging about, you can only hope for some guy on guy action. None. Painfully straight. Alas… a guy can dream.
Our protagonist is vaguely annoying and egregiously underdeveloped. Appreciating colors in paintings is not a meaningful character trait, in my humble opinion. Besides that, a large portion of this book is giving internalized misogyny. I don’t know how else to put it.
Imagine living for a man…. Literally pathetic.
Lastly, this world’s version of a condom, “the contraceptive brew,” is the funniest thing I’ve ever read. I really don’t think it was supposed to be a joke, which is what disturbs me even more. Maybe the author was dared to put that in.
Anyway, this book is basically a porno. Not well-written, but mostly entertaining. Will probably read the sequels.

The MC is incredibly bland and at first none of the plot or relationships made any sense. I had a LOT of eye rolling and it wasn't until the end that I realized that MC is bland for a REASON. Having a blank canvas character allows the reader to project themselves into the story more easily...which is probably why people like it so much. Yearning, romance, sex - its all much more fun when you can imagine your self as the recipient.
And for that the book did its job. Its a wonderful YA y/n self insert self indulgent book. The spice level is pretty low - the 1.5 scenes were short, laced with metaphors and not particularly racy. But I come from the land AO3.
The plot was kind of weird, especially the last third with the trials. It seems the second and third books are better BUT i will not be reading them because there are more compelling love stories with muh better sex, slow burn and enemies to lovers.
