*Edit : Re-read April 2023*

Still absolutely blown away. I've read all books of the series that are out so far, and it's my favorite. Can't recommend enough, I would give it more stars if that was possible. 

*Review Feb 2023*

I was really blown away by this book. The tropes are familiar, but to have a plus sized main character is honestly a breath of fresh air after reading a bunch of other (also pretty hot) dark fantasy books. I hadn't realized how much I missed this. The smut is delightful and delicious, and it's the first time I instantly re-read some of the chapters, just to enjoy the scenes a little longer. 

Definitely a recommendation from me for anyone who likes casually queer characters (honestly, this alone would keep me reading Katee Robert's work), the comfort of familiar tropes, etc. 

Familiar tropes are... enemies to lovers, forced marriage, fake relationship, shared bed... I also really love how you get this story within the larger Dark Olympus universe, eg with lots of foreshadowing of later books, etc. Also contains some hints at the Wicked Villains series
