Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Sexual violence
Still a great read, although I find myself less impressed these days by the world-building beyond Terre d’Ange and the choices of Anafiel Delaunay. It’s also hard not to give the system of sexual indenture some side eye. But this remains an engrossing story of an unusual heroine and her two best boys on her epic journey to save their country from treachery and invasion.
