““You’re about to find out what it truly means to be mine, Milla. I’m going to claim you first with my fingers, then with my c*ck. And when I’m finished with you, a contract won’t mean sh*t.””
Holy FREAKING HELL 
This was peaky blinders x Grisha verse vibes and I am so so so down for it.
The plot is plotting and I had no idea what would happen but I love it that way! And SLOOOOOWWWW Burn.... I just needed them to hurry up and f*ck already....
The FMC is a badass b*tch who don't take no sh*t from nobody especially not her biggest rival.... and husband. (She only lets herself be pushed around by her brothers and I wish she would push back a little!)

Also, that ending made me SOB

Thak you Alexis for writing a book with so many emotions and such great politics, magic and worldbuilding!!
