Knight Awakened
by Coreene Callahan
2.5/3
TW: murder, death of family members (before events of book), torture, mention of rape, sexual assault, human trafficking/slavery, mention of sexual abuse, mention of past child abuse (both by a parent and adult), animal death
I think I saw this recommended by Katee Robert who's books I love. Won't lie, it was the promise of smut that had me picking this up more than anything and I kept reading mostly because of that and it gave me something to do.
The plot was okay. Magic not really that explained or fleshed out but what are you gonna do. The whole "tearing her barrier" thing will never not annoy me. Virginity is a construct. The hymen doesn't tear when there is penetration, whether that's from a penis, a finger, a sex toy, or whatever. This whole being a virgin is considered pure schtick can also sod off. Don't need it, don't want it, don't care for it.
Even though this had it's problems, I'm interested enough in Henrick's book to read it. That and it's free to read on kindle unlimited and I want to get my free trial's worth.
