Minor: Grief

There are two detailed (very consensual) sex scenes described and several moderately sexual kisses, and hookups between side characters are casually referred to but not described in detail at times. There are some battle scenes, as the context of the book is amidst a war between two nations. Several unimportant characters die, and many characters are wounded and murdered. One more important character dies. The main characters have both lost someone who is dear to them, and speak a little bit about their grief. Dragons incinerate people several times.

there is a murder attempt on the main character while she is asleep, but she lives

thankfully there is NO sexual assault in this book!!!

I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the sequel. As someone with EDS I was very excited to read a book with a protagonist who has EDS written by an author who has it as well. I thought the story was entertaining and I enjoyed immersing myself into the world. That being said, I agree with others who have said that at times it feels very YA, it’s full of predictable tropes, and that there are some plot holes. Was it a literary masterpiece? No. However, I would still recommend this book to people who are looking for a fantasy novel with some smut sprinkled in, and don’t mind and/or enjoy YA as well.

I loved the storyline and characters. I'm incredibly invested to see where the story goes and to see how the characters' relationships evolve throughout the series. However, the scenes describing how hot Xaden is (i.e. "HOLY FUCKING HOT") and the nickname moaning was really... weird...especially for adults. It struck me as trying too hard to be "relatable", and at times I wondered if the romantic scenes were written by someone who only knows about sex from fanfiction because of how the characters interacted (the conversations made me cringe) and how "perfect" each scene was.
