itspronouncedtessa's review against another edition

I couldn't take the constant sexual violence anymore.

Also, the magical common girl tames violent and dangerous prince trope is not my vibe.

An excellent continuation of the Dreamblood series and a satisfying wrapup. However, it's much more graphic and likely more triggering to some readers. I nearly put it down a couple of times. I'm glad I didn't; I enjoyed seeing characters grow and the resolution. But it may be too powerful for some.
