prismaticjules's review against another edition

My first DNF. I had such high expectations going in because of the love this book has received. I go into most books blind but always read the trigger warnings either in the book or on the authors websites but it’s so bothersome to me that “incest” was not only not first on the list of TW but not at all. I truly just couldn’t read anymore.

This was something to say the least, I did enjoy it a little but the long chapters and the general relationship made it kinda hard to get through at points. It’s the longest it’s taken me to read something in a long time.

This book was wrong… so wrong… but still I enjoyed it 🫣 There were definitely some parts that I felt went too far and, for a lack of a better term, felt “icky.” I was a little disappointed that it was building up as a reverse harem trope, then suddenly rushed into the MC making a choice between the three of them. Overall though, this was a fast and steamy read.
