If you want a characters driven story with good plot too and a strong and tense queer enemies to lovers trope, then this trilogy does the job for you.

I'm fascinated by Damen's reactions to the world around him, to Laurent, to his very severe change in status. I'm also baffled by Laurent, left wondering what is really motivating his cold and taunting exterior. I'm REALLY worried about some of the thins his Uncle says to him, not to mention how he acts after cettain facts come to light. I'm interested in how this enemies to frenemy/ally relationship is going to further develop. I kind of want them to be together and I am highly conflicted about it.
It's really quite interesting NO ONE has properly put together who Damen is - a forcibly exiled Prince. One who is pretty reviled with good reason in that kingdom. I wonder if they will or when we'll see it.

It rubs me off the wrong way that some slaves are introduced as "meant to be submissive" and "born to serve".
and how am i supposed to ship em😀 rape isn't swag and this book isn't romance, i suppose it will come in the 2nd one but still

It isn’t. It is a glorification of sexual violence. Endless abuse (mental and physical) as well as rape. Also: paedology since the boy was a sex slave since he was 10/11. The fact that the sex slaves in two kingdoms give up their free will (WHICH IS WHAT MAKES US HUMAN!) for a life in luxury is sickening. The more demure and submissive they are, the higher their worth. Like wtf? W t f.
I don’t understand how a publisher allowed this book to be printed because the editor should have told the author a strict „no“. There’s no plot, no world-building, no character development. It’s just written glorification of sexual violence and I feel utterly sick.
