Reading the Kolis bit was A LOT - there was sooo much
SA, abuse, etc.
it got kind of hard to read at times. I also wish they would have put in a couple of chapters of nyktos and others so it wasn’t just all sera. They were also separated for a LOOONg time which was a little killer. 

The last bit of the book was much better. I adore Ash and Sera so much. I loved how the book ended with spice and a little bit of cry.  Their story is just the best

I usually enjoy the books in this series because of the cheesy romance but I really struggled to get through this one. This book is about main character, Sera’s, time spent under the captivity of the King of the Primals, Kolis, and it is pretty dark but also very drawn out with a lot of emotional suffering. I read books that are fun and entertaining and 80% of this book made me tense and anxious. I don’t enjoy that kind of reading experience so this has been my least favorite book of the series, but some people might enjoy exploring those other emotions.

a good amount of the book was rough to read because of everything Sera goes through but I found all the emotional processing around the traumatic events very relatable and well written

This book felt a little like an extended novella. I felt like some parts dragged and there was a lot of lore dump. I do love Sera and the way her anxiety is portrayed. It’s so nice to see a badass fmc with anxiety. I love the way Ash cares for her but Nektas is really a favorite. So mature and reasonable . I wish the majority of the book wasn’t spent with Kolis. I hate him and I’m not a huge fan of books where the FMC and MMC are apart for so long.
