Spicy but boring. Minimal character development for all of them. I don’t care about the taboo aspect, but everything was so… flat.

First half dragged but the second half was amazing. I’m unsure why I’ve seen this listed in a few places as Romantasy, as the romance isn’t truly important to the story and only comes into play at the very end. No spice, lots of banter. Still loved it.

Beautifully written, terrible people. Was not in a good frame of mind for this one but needed to read it for a book club. Do not like it.
