I probably would have loved this book if I had read it in 2011. 

Reading it in 2024, it’s awfully dated and has a lot of cringeworthy elements. The plot is fun, and I enjoyed the setting and worldbuilding, but the main character was hard for me to root for. I just found him kind of generic, a male version of a Mary Sue. Likewise, I hated this book’s treatment of all of its female characters. There weren’t very many of them, and even though it was tame, I found it upsetting how often they just wanted to have sex with Atticus. 

Seeing as how the Morrigan killed those random mortals just for objectifying her, it was troubling to see her act so smitten with Atticus. Sure, an immortal goddess should be able to have her way with the handsomest mortals she can find - but I think I would prefer it if Atticus were a little more interested in the Morrigan as a person, and a little less interested in the act of sex itself. He came off as such a fuckboy.

Oberon was the best character!
