I had issues with it but I really enjoyed it overall. 

It's definitely not a coloniser romance. It's more of a toxic, abusive relationship with a grooming aspect which I thought was written quite well. It made me feel uncomfortable at times but I think it's meant to make you feel like that. It definitely wasn't a romance and I'm a bit confused as to why it was marketed as a fantasy romance?

I really like the world setting and the magic vs science aspect. I found the whole magic system really interesting and I hope it goes more in depth in the next books.

The ending to this left me REELING. I can't wait for the next book!
