I have read this series a few times, I always think this is the lowest of the three. Just as how it is written you don't really get a full picture till you have read everything, so while this may be gritty and certain character may be down right un readable for those who like a good pay off keep going!

I am definitely reading the next books and buying them to own. This book is not for everyone as it does involve a lot of topics related to sex slavery and rape. It is also not the best for people who want a quick romance, this is more of a slow burn in some ways.

A lot of sex based content aswell as rape and abuse. One of the main characters is a 10-14 year old in a relationship with an adult man. At some point in the story the main character is punish via wipping, it is vaguely graphic. There is some minor death of an animal, it is minor and can be skipped over. The main plot involves a description of the main characters kidnapping and transportation to Vere.

It’s pretty bad. The only “good” thing was the political intrigue but that was pretty mediocre.

this book is literally so problematic, it's got way too many sexual abuse/harassment/violence scenes for anyone to read it while sane, not to mention the almost fetishization of gay people in the effort of making a queernorm world and the underlying colorism/racism with the way pale people with blond hair is throughout glorified as a damn plot point. i read this after dark rise, which i loved so much, but after reading this i'm not sure if i can support the author anymore. there was too much going wrong here to be covered up by "it's not glorification, we need to discuss dark topics." this is not the right kind of dark..... anyways look at the damn content warnings before reading. i will stay optimistic about the author for now but i sure am wary over this book
