One of the alt povs expanded in this book, and it makes me want to gouge my ears out. It is torture to listen to it, and I'm annoyed at how little time our main characters are getting. #BookSky

This book is a lot of tell and not show, but it's a nice expansion of our understanding of the characters and the world. Things are moving slowly, but they are moving.
And shout out to the side character romance. That trope should be used more.

This is the slowest of slow burn romances, but somehow it didn't smolder enough. Really not enough set up. Looking forward to seeing how the new dynamic changes the plot, though. Things are about to kick off, I can feel it.

I know Anthony Palmetti is lauded for voicing shadow daddies, but his villains are top-tier. I hate every single one of them and their sniveling voices. The tension, even when they are friendly and charismatic, is unmatched.

Anyone picking up this series for the romantasy needs to be warned. Book 1 is entirely sexual assault on trafficked women, some of it extremely graphic. I actually like it as a complicated start to the fmc's journey, but it is hard.
