I love the writing in the book. With that in mind this author can right some really rude women. I mean the stuff that came out of this women’s mouth I was very very much upset. Like they way she talked to these orcs but would NEVER EVER TALK TO HUMAN MEN THAT WAY.  Unacceptable. Also the last 20% is trash, completely threw in a wrench that was unnecessary. Just two toxic people in love. Ugh 😣 .

ACH!! This cursed book!! 😍😍😍

Absolutely no one warned me that orc mountain had the potential to make me tear up!! 😭 You monstrous beasts! 😈

This one may not be for everyone bc there are def some brutal moments, discussion of past trauma, & some gRaPhiC sex scenes that nearly drown you ☔️ BUT I’ll be damned if this book didn’t *bodily* grab me & my heart by the throat!!!! 🥵

The story, the character growth, the quantity AND quality of steam, the orc culture & community, even the freaking orc mountain all won me over!!! 🥰🥰🥰

If you can make it through the first 1/2, I promise the payoff is *MWAH* 👩🏻‍🍳💋

I can confirm that this is an essential required read for monster lovers & fu€ker$ across the realms!! ✨

CW/TW: kidnapping, emotional abuse, graphic sexual content, discussion of infertility & abortion, pregnancy & child birth, body shaming, child abuse, domestic abuse.
