Not going to lie I struggled with this book. The general fae story line was amazing and if it was that alone I’m sure I’d probably continue the series.
Unfortunately it contains very consistent weird sexual content with a male MC calling the female one little one which didn’t sit right with me.
Additionally it deals with grooming, suicide, murder and SA.
Overall I was left disturbed especially by the graphic sex because of the phrasing and the uncomfortable nickname used. I wouldn’t reccomend personally.
And I’m not against spice in books. But this was just horrid to read
Also. Despite this book seemingly being set in an old dystopia landscape it kept bringing up modern clothing like leggings. Which just seemed so seperate and disconnected from what I understood to be the setting
