[1st Edition - preRevisions]
[3.5 ⭐] I was so hyped for this and it was kinda disappointing. Piper's tiktok's said it was a bisexual fantasy but the male love interest is barely in it and there's no connection between them, so the romance isn't bisexual in book 1. Plus the female love interests is so intense, in the best way, that I can't see the male interest getting much of a chance. We needed more interactions with the dark fae leading up to the final act. The book definitely needs a grammar scrub up and a lot more chapter breaks, especially in part 1. Part 1 felt like a bit long and slow, but part 2 built up the lore in the most heartbreaking way and the time in the reev was my favourite part. Part 2 was where I really started to get into it. Then part 3 and 4 were enjoyable but a lil clunky at times. The lore in this book is really interesting and was what kept me reading. I can see the norse and witcher influence in it. I probably will read the others and I hope Pipers current editing spree will smooth over in the other books some of the stuff that I disliked about book 1.
