Mostly, I was very bored listening to this book. I also did not vibe with the romance. Asher and Lore had no chemistry.
At one point he says “I’m so much stronger than you” like shut up dude what a big ick. I know the twist is that he’s evil but their romance has to be at least a bit believable since the romance is a primary plot point
I also felt like the world building was lacking.
Mostly, if the fae, as explained in the beginning, are so picky about lineages, why why why would their evil plan be to mate with HUMANS, the one species they despise and look down on the most? The war in the South was also super sidelined and random, as was the scene with Grey and that Queen. How did Lore rescue him so quickly? It was so underwhelming.
the only character I really liked was Isla, though it was funny that she was the only lesbian character and was described as having orange and pink/sunset clothing (literally the lesbian flag, not subtle lol). ALSO the writing gave very much YA (which I thought the book was) until a random sex scene? It threw me off. Anyway, not a huge fan.
