i blew through the first book, but this one took me a little longer. honestly poppy’s internal struggles and descriptions are very lengthy compared to actual events happening. 
plenty of spicy scenes though ;)

i love hawke (casteel) and poppy’s relationship. i can’t wait to see them grow together in the series

5.0

Half the book I was screaming at the main character in my head to get over herself and fall in love, and the other half  I spent relishing in the SWEET GOODNESS OF HER ADMITTING IT! We get SO much world building  in this book that give the characters and relationships so much depth and complexity. Because it’s so freaking long too, I feel like I know every thought that goes through their heads. I fell in love with each character so much more in this book because of that depth we get. And the ending? Jaw. Dropping. The best fantasy book I’ve read so far.

gabriellavides's review against another edition

I was a bit iffy with the first book because of the lack of consent and the racist stereotypes within it but my friend convinced me to move forward, so I did. I went forward and marked all of the gross and creepy comments Hawke makes towards Poppy as well as the lack of respect towards her regarding marriage and her future. It was so much just within the first 100 pages and I was just too disgusted to continue forward.

Used to love this series but now see many glaring issues and honestly would rather read more diverse books than this.
