dark emotional medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: N/A

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

It felt like there was basically no progress in the plot of the book from the start to the end other than the romance. To vulgar for me in terms of things being not fully consensual (not with MC) or attempting rape on MC

Honestly... the premise was interesting, that's way I started it... The Main character Malina was kind of unique as a person and story line..
I'm giving it 2.75 stars just because of that and the setting.
So the bad:
There was NO actual stakes, NO action towards the "goal" that the MMC had... NO character development, NO f**** sense at one point. The romance - I'm not even going to comment 😔
See I have nothing against dark, twisted even violent plots. I know for a lot of people the themes of slave and a master will be triggering, but for me the problem was just simply lacking of any king of consequences for the main characters.
I feel like nowadays the trope "enemies to lovers" is put on every f**** fantasy novel where there's a romance... and at this point, it starting to be problematic, boring and stupid 🙃

TW - Sexual assault, sexual violence, enslavement

I don't want to read about a Roman leader enslaving a woman and making his sex slave "to save her."

I don't want to real about sexual assault or sexual violence.

Also, the author didnt include Trigger warnings.

The premise seemed like a cool concept because I LOVE Shifters romances, but I can't deal with the enslavement stuff. That's not romantic and that's not consensual intimacy, she's enslaved.

This was disappointing.

First off, it is a dark romantasy. Whomever decided to market it as just a romantasy needs to be educated in terms. It has power dynamics, noncon/ dubcon (not MCs), s3xual assault, and lots of violence. I knew that going in and I'm all for a morally gray MMC, I love dark romance, so this worked for me. I was constantly worried about the characters. The tension and yearning was top notch. Very touch her and die. There are 2 more books to go so the romance was a little fast but it was well done.

I really enjoyed this! I really liked the setting and the dragon element. I liked the characters and liked how it was dual POV. The ending was tense as well. I’m excited for the sequel.
