Matthew is an arsehole, and Diana is insufferable. Their toxic relationship is a chore to read. The most interesting characters are the supporting ones - would have loved to have more time with Goody Alsop and co. I am hate reading this trilogy now tbh as the overall plot is interesting, it's just a shame that the misogynistic undertones are so obvious. Additionally, stop trying to make ruffs sexy. It's not gonna happen.
