This book…I wanted to hold out and wait for it to make sense but…aside from some of the spicy scenes and clever dialogue I really can’t find many things I enjoyed about this book. The world building and lore are so confusing and frankly bizarre, it’s almost like AI generated dark romance. The pacing seemed way off most of the time, with pages of scenery description but rushing past meeting core new characters or action scenes. I also found all the sex during or after violence/ threatening violence to be whiplash inducing and again pacing was so off I can’t say I’ll read any more of this series - I’ve kind of seen all I need to see.
