Kings of Quarantine by Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti
Did not finish book. Stopped at 66%.
Did not finish book. Stopped at 66%.
Too much non-consensual sexual content toward the female MC. Made me too uncomfortable to finish reading even if it was intriguing in the first 25-40% of it. Was able to push through a little more than half before I got to where I couldn’t handle picking it back up.

Just too long without enough to keep me interested. Maas dragged out this series, I was struggling with the previous two books in the series as well. The first few were the best and should have ended there somehow.
