I’m new to the romantacy genre and I just have some observations. First, what’s up with the body horror? Most fantasy does not include this amount of torture and gore. Frankly I’m not sure why adding boinks warrants the extra horror. Related, are we not capable of writing one of these that doesn’t include SA? What’s going on with all these insanely unsexy plot lines? Is it overcompensation for the boinks? Conflict can happen without torture and SA. I’ve seen it done in every other genre. I just 💁♀️
I think I originally put a hold on this because some random Reddit thread suggested to read this after ACOTAR. And yeah honestly that’s a good way to rec this book because this reads similar.

Also the surprise soulmates thing was a nice touch. Did not see that one coming. I also like that we get that bad boy, broken girl trope as well as strangers to friends to enemies to lovers thing that they have going on.
Also the banter, really great made me laugh a lot and pause my audiobook to really make sure that I heard the narrator correctly. Both of them have some great one liners. And there were also moments that I was truly sad and also those that I wanted to hit them both upside the head cause they were both being idiots.
I'm really interested in seeing where the rest of this series goes.
