Trigger warning for sexual assault/rape.
While I came in to the book expecting romance centered book as I didn't read the synopsis, I was surprised in a good way to read a story about a rape survivor, even if I had to take a break. It really puts the corruption of the American justice system in perspective especially as the author mentioned in the author's note that there are multiple cases similar to the one in the book, but with not such happy endings. It was a great and informative read. I would highly recommend it.

I was excited for this book, but even though it was a cute story, it was average. I didn't expect the rape kink part and it definitely made me a bit uncomfortable but to each their own. I found some parts towards the end a bit annoying and I wanted to get it over with but the end itself was cute.

I read it for uni but I think I won't rate it. It was good and nice but not really mind blowing and the end left me confused. I like that there is LGBTQ representation, it was cute.

Well this was amazing. I loved every part of this sequel. From Hakaimono, who was actually funny and a great POV, to the final battle and of course to my favorite part - the unexpected romance. Yeah, you can say I have a new favorite ship now.

A fantasy novel with a loving family, just what I love. I am so happy to see the strong bond between the siblings and how much they love each other (even if we didn't see that much of the sisters). The romance was great and the adventure too. I wish we saw more of Athlen's friend from the city/town, but it was still a great story.
