This book is based on many lies and betrayals. Including events that fall along the lines of infidelity or perceived infidelity. The 'other woman' tropes absolutely gut me. I have panic attacks. I try to avoid books where characters walk in on their lovers with another woman. This book includes a similar type scene at about 3/4 of the way in.
Graphic: Infidelity

First of all, I the fantasy and plot are easy to understand and get into, though I found some information was a little too glossed over or given at convenient times.
The characters were interesting, and flawed, but a little one-dimensional. Sometimes I wondered why the FMC was allowed to get away with things, and why everyone was willing to uproot their principles for her.
However, it was easy to read, and the plot kept me enthralled.

Side note: there are a lot ( a LOT ) of reviews calling this an ACOTAR rip off and, while there are some minor similarities, I don’t feel that way at all. Sorry not sorry.
