The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe

3.0

dark fast-paced

I really can’t decide how I feel about this series. I’m reading them to get to the standalone story with Roc and Captain Hook. The story is fine and interesting, and I am ok with smut, but…the characters are aged up, but only to 18. To me, that just feels like checking a legal box, but this smut is…very adult and, I feel like…since they are aged up anyway, and it’s fantasy, like…they could have been aged up a bit more and it would be less weird. 

Also, two of the characters are brothers who like to smash the same girl, at the same time, and, like…that was a choice. And could have been a different one, that would have also made this less weird.
