I have mixed feelings. This was an easy read and I appreciated that, and in general I liked the plot. I love fantasy worlds and enemy courts and mates and magic. But it was definitely predictable. And I hate all these men going “you belong to me,” like it makes an outraged feminist come out. And the spice would’ve been great if they stopped using the word nub 😭
