This book is definitely not what I expected from the description. There's a lot of sexual assault mentioned and not really fully condemned, and many different tropes all crammed into this book.

I had a hard time with this one but I'm starting to realize because there is a huge miscommunication trope. Thus seems to be a huge part of orc culture in every book so far which comes off in the form of gaslighting and manipulation but by the end is made apparentto be the fault in differences of culture. This particular one has even more miscommunication between the orcs themselves so that was another level of what appeared to be deceit and lies.

Each time I push through, everything wraps up nicely and falls neatly into place with the FMC and MMC working things out and realizing they are lost without each other.

WOW I became unnecessarily attached to these characters. Spicy scenes are yummy and I did not expect to get so emotional over this story but it's 100% worth every single moment of emotional distress. Fair warning there is no blatant description of rape or child abuse but it is implied that certain characters went through that trauma.

So I love the others in this series. This book however felt like it was written by someone else. Foreplay and accurate sex was out the window. This book I think was supposed to be kinkier then the others but lost that with the smut scenes being so unrealistic.
