This was very silly. The interactions, plot, and worldbuilding didn't make a lot of sense. Like... how on earth will VOMITING fix a months-long build up of poison in someone's system. Just. Lol.
It also read *very* young aside from the sex scenes. This woman was supposed to be 20, but I'd more readily have believed 13.
Also fantasy has a lot of immortal being+ young human girl love interests... but most of them don't start their interest in the MC when she's a baby. And then proceed to try and mansplain her own personality to her throughout most of the book. Ick.
