serafel 's review for:

The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee
1.0

I enjoy world building and evolving friendships and relationships. This had neither, somehow. Lots of people enjoyed it, but clearly it wasn't for me.

I'd also argue that the love interest (if you can call him that) was manipulative, possessive, and emotionally abusive. Their last interaction had elements of withdrawn consent (she "recoiled" he was "unrelenting" and holds her there). Overall, just really gross.
