Of Darkness and Ruination by Rachel Fallon
4.5
4.5⭐️ Rounded up
I’m putting my TLDR up top for this:
1. READ THIS BOOK!
2. Check the trigger warnings.
Okay so….I loved this story. Truly, it was fascinating. I love the world building and the shitty hierarchy of their society. I like the twists in their history and the general plot twists that come up (some of them are doozies).
This is a dark Romantasy, so I do recommend checking out the trigger warnings. Especially if you’re newer to dark romance in general. There is definite dubious consent, as well as sexual assault/attempted sa, voyeurism, and orgoes. That said, dubcon is the trigger that’s usually tough for me to get past and this didn’t quite go so far as to trigger my “ick” factor.
I like Asteria a lot. I think it’s fun to watch her struggle with whether or not she wants to let people instead of protecting herself from relationships. I love her relationship with Pris and eventually Eryx. Granted I just love Eryx in general. He’s a sweetheart. Calix is a great, misunderstood monster/brooding fae male, and I am all for it!
I am super stoked for Of Light & Freedom and I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
