In various ways it's all I could ever want in a fantasy novel. Cool setting, kick-ass main character, two boyfriends who just so happen to be into each other as well. But there were still some parts I could not entirely get into like the mech fights. I did like the take on them, but somehow every time those fights happened I kind of zoned out and I can't really put my finger on why. Also feel like some of the pacing was a bit off in parts. However, I will definitely be picking up heavenly tyrant as well.
Graphic: Addiction, Domestic abuse, Physical abuse, and Violence
Moderate: Confinement, Misogyny, Sexism, and Abandonment
