Oh boy! Where do I start! Cum claw? Or snek sex? This Book has both and more!!!
It’s a wild ride. If your intrested in reading it, I say read it. But it’s not a fantasy, or a romance. It’s more… erotica. The whole plot revolves around sex, so much so that each chapter has sex. Plot was okay. I feel like if the book had less sex and more plot it would be better. The author sets up a cool world but we dont spend to much time in it because we are watching Tem and Caspan self destruct. I liked Leo and he deserved better. Tem starts out shy, but by the end she ends up becoming such a major manipulatior, and the longer the book went on the more I disliked her. Same with Caspian.
