The Shattered Court by M.J. Scott

---

I've had this on my to-read list for a very long time, and decided to finally give it a try. I knew going in it was a fantasy romance, but hoped it wouldn't lean too heavily into the romance. Unfortunately it started in the very first chapter, before I even felt like I had gotten to know the characters very well at all. Add to that the way the scene was written, boring with a couple of crude words, and I ended up abandoning this in chapter two. Sorry I need more substance.
