I was so sure I would love this book. I wanted to love this book. But, when I finally finished I just felt relieved to be done instead of excited to continue the series.
It gives me the ick that the FMC developed a "friendship" and weird crush on the MMC (ancient and fae because of course he is) when she was a teenager who had just escaped her abuser (who was SA-ing her) by killing him. And I really just couldn't get past that.
Beyond that, it wasn't anything amazing. Honestly, it felt like I was reading fanfiction.
I almost always finish a series even if I don't love the first book, because there is something fundamentally wrong with me as a person and I have to. I'm definitely not jumping into the next one right away.
