1.5

1.5 because the concept was so interesting. But ultimately, even for dark romance fae smut it wasn’t very entertaining to read. Even the sex scenes we’re meh. Also that a girl who JUST turned 18 can ruin centuries of planning just because she’s willing to have sex is so boring. They SAY she’s a fighter. They don’t show that at all at any point. 

Give me empowerment. Give me healing. Give me found family. Give me someone who isn’t a literal child. 

Would not recommend or read the authors other books. “Ice Planet Barbarians” was WAY better if you want some romance/smut. Even HOOKED is better if you want filthy Peter Pan retellings.
