She doesn’t even stay mad at him imprisoning her indefinitely! Not even for a day. Insane. The initial world building in the first book felt fun but I was hoping for that to get fleshed out more. Author relies on glossary to describe things in a way I’ve never seen before. I felt like there was one way for the book to end (my guess is FMC stays pliant to MMC despite being locked up and eventually he marries her and probably gets her collar off and she becomes super powerful). I didn’t like FMC and was bored. I keep reading, holding out for her to grow a backbone and self worth but she’s just fawning over the MMC who is essentially her master! Not into the words used for spice scenes - nub and folds and rutting ew. I do love when the male mates go kinda feral about their mates to other men. He gets antlers when they fuck lmao. Almost dnf’d. Would not recommend. Won’t read next book
