Normally I don't rate books I couldn't finish before I get halfway through - usually they just get marked as “unsuccessful attempt” because I abandon so many - but I felt the need to review this just to spite everyone on Booktok that made this seem like it was Gd’s gift to YA faerie fantasy.

It is very frustrating to watch the FMC constantly struggle fruitlessly to get any sense of power or control in the narrative, cry about it, and then decide they’re helpless and do nothing. So many chapters end with “But choice did I have?” And I’m like OMG you had other choices you’re just passive and don’t believe in yourself at all! And she just cries so much. Whines a lot about doing the right thing to an ancient, blood thirsty fae who could care less. The MMC is very static and him coming to realize he has feelings for the FMC is like watching a baby realize it has feet. Emotional intelligence of a rock and coercive as hell.
The ending was just okay. The sea monster was my favorite.
TW: abandonment, infertility, mentions of rape, coercive sexual situations,
Minor: Abandonment, Rape, and Sexual content
