I have been hesitant to read this book because of the back and forth reviews.  

Trigger warnings are needed for this: sexual assault, drugging, non consent sex, male toxic traits

I loved the fairy world and the fantasy part of this. I was “whatever” about the love story. I read this fast, so it held my attention. 
The thing I absolutely was disappointed in was the intention of sexual assault and non consented sexual acts. I couldn’t believe she added this. 

There is a point near the end after FREYE getting drugged over and over and the fairy says he never touched her below because he wanted to be on Tamlin’s good side…… what?!?? 
What?!???? 
How about … not to do things to her SHE DID NOT AGREE ON. so so ridiculous. 

I only would read the 2nd one if rape is left out of it!
