I have never been so  vividly uncomfortable till now. Main character is racist, homophobic, misogynistic the list  goes on. So many CW. So many slurs I lost count past 8. The only reason I even bothered finishing this book is because I was hoping he would get murdered
he didn’t 😡

- Too many non consensual kisses at the start. Flat characters. The only well written part of this book was the smut

To be honest this book is the complete opposite of what I usually read action fantasy with a romance subplot. It’s was interesting to step out of my comfort zone. Considering I bought this book months ago and waited until after the sequel came out to read it I’m a bit disappointed. Ikenna is both overpowered and unlikeable the author really should’ve just picked one.
The way she treated Zayne (she was constantly gaslighting him and getting mad him for no reason) and Enoch and his sister (become she officially became a Praetorian) was so bitchy.
The plot was also pretty predictable. I wish the best for this author though, I probably won’t read the sequel unless it’s on sale for less than £1.

Barely understood any of it
He who does not wish to see the height of a man, looks all the more sharply at what is low in him, and in the foreground—and thereby betrays himself.
