The protagonist, Sylvia, is a morally grey heroine with a tragic past filled with loss and abuse. Having lost her family and status as a princess during a war, she lives as a commoner, hiding her identity as well as her restrained magic. I really loved the complexity of Sylvia's character and following her through each difficult choice and harsh revelation from her past. She felt very real.
While I'm not usually a fan of enemies to lovers romances, the dynamic between Sylvia and Arin is the best example I've seen of the trope. They are natural enemies as he is the son of the man who overthrew her family and the way their relationship progresses is authentic.
I'm really looking forward to the next installment of this series.

I think you'd like this book if you like:
Graphic: Physical abuse, Violence, Genocide, Gore, War, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Death, Grief, and Body horror
Minor: Confinement, Sexual assault, and Pedophilia
Minor horror elements, and war themes present throughout. No torture or SA on page, but lots of pain and violence.bittersweetcritiques's review against another edition

To have loved and loathed a character in such equal measure and to have been constantly unsure of where innocence ended and betrayal began, I have found myself completely consumed by The Jasad Heir. A story so well spun it will take ages to unravel all the various plot threads.

This book surprised me several times, made me laugh out loud, made me cry, and made me hope. My only problem is that now I have to wait for the sequel.
