I love this series and this book in particular. It looks like an arc I don’t really care for is ending and one that looks really promising is starting. A throwaway character that I liked got a LOT of love and is getting more down the line.

4.0

Easily could have been a favorite based on the premise alone, but no, Harry is absolute peak Crust Lord thus far in this installment. You do not get good guy points for not taking a MINOR up on their sexual advance just because you “know better” but were still sexualizing the entire book her anyway???? God, FUCK Harry. If I didn’t enjoy the world and plot of these books so much I truly would have dropped this series by now.
