I was overjoyed to see that even though this book was loaded with spice, it wasn’t written like cheap pr0n pulp. The writing was quite gorgeous and another added bonus was that I didn’t have to read all the previous books in the series either. This seemed to be a standalone, or at least my lack of having read the previous five books did not diminish my enjoyment at all.

I can’t say much about the characters since most of their interactions were… quite steamy to say the least and extremely insta-lovey. Still, the world felt intriguing and it made me wish that there was a whole wlw series exploring each court so I could learn what lies behind the friendships and animosities. Though maybe the previous books in the series did just that, but if they are not wlw, I am not that inclined to read them right now. 😅

In any case, we really do need more awesome sapphic fae romance in our lives. Or at least I do.
