I don't want to give anything away but this book is everything I've been looking for since I was a teenager getting lost in lands in books which all seemed to die down when I went to university. I've read this book in record time and already have the second one lined up to read on my table in the living room - I just can't get enough of Prythian! 

The characters are loveable, even the ones you love to hate,l - there are so many different and complex characters, creatures, beings even... Some with redemption arcs, others who you love from the start and others you grow to love alongside Fayre. I simply cannot wait to discuss this book further with my friends and family.

It's a real page tuner. I've been brought to tears, heartbroken and seen hugging the book saying 'No' as well as kicking my feet like a schoolgirl reading something naughty - you really go through the motions with this book. So what I'm trying to say is: if you haven't read this book, Why ? 
Why haven't you?

the main character had no personality, the main couple no development they just suddenly were in love for no reason, the first half of the book is a bunch of just nothing happening and what dies actually happen plot-wise so incredibly cliche, fast, and unserious that I struggled to finish it out of sheer frustration it was BAD. it is also a book with awful gender essentialism which was… so weird.

4.25⭐️1🌶️(mostly closed door, very few sex scenes, several tension-filled scenes)
This had been on my TBR for 4 years and idk what took me so long. People either love or hate this book and this series in general and I liked it a lot! I will say the beginning 20% is pretty slow, it took me a couple weeks to get through that and then I read the last 80% in less than 24hrs. I read along with the graphic audiobook and that version shuffles some inner monologue and dialogue around to make conversations flow, so I’d suggest the regular audiobook first and the graphic audio for a reread. I really didn’t find the book spicy at all, I think this could be appropriate for YA readers, but I’ve heard the rest of the series is spicier. Another thing: why does everyone hate tamlin?? He’s a pretty decent guy and takes care of FMC and her family when he doesn’t need to. I can see the rhys hype, he’s the misunderstood villain bad boy who I predict will be an enemies to lovers in the future and his fan art is🥵. Some of the book is gory and graphic, I would classify this as a dark romantasy with plenty of fluff. I would definitely reread in the future and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series!

It is a really slow read up until half way through. The characters are nit the most likable until near the end. However despite its flaws its a fun read
