Honestly, I think the hype for this book is justified! I’ve been nervous to dive in to this series because I am not a fan of smut. But, at least for this first one, it was not filled with unnecessary smut. There was a lot of relationship build up, which I like because I don’t understand lust at first sight (I’m more of a lust post love kinda gal). The few steamy scenes were not explicit (in my opinion) & the main sex scene was fade to black.
I anticipate that the next few will not be so… tame… but I will probably continue! Which was not something I thought I was going to say.
The story itself was really compelling. I enjoyed this little escapism into a fae realm where there are very human issues still afoot. This first book was very much establishing lore & magic so I’m excited to see how it builds in the next ones.
