Evil Ice Queen Smut.
I still can't decide if I liked this or not. I was intrigued enough to finish it, although there were times I almost abandoned it. The plot is decent and the smut is steamy hot, but the world-building was confusing. While I understand some things were left vague for a reason, there were other things that could have been described or explained better because I felt like I was constantly backtracking to figure out if I had missed something (I had not). I even thought maybe this was not the first book in a series because I felt lost, but it IS the first book in a series. Additionally it's extremely heteronormative and hyper-focused on sexual gender roles.
Idk, I stuck with it and after the half-way point I felt the plot take off and I was by this point invested in knowing how it all worked out. Love triangles, plot twists, and lots of drama. But it did have a satisfying ending.
