Thanks to the publisher for providing me with this E-ARC via NetGalley.
Gosh, this was a difficult read. And gosh, Iâm kind of disappointed in it.
The writing style is very hit or miss and also makes or breaks the entire book. And sadly enough, for me itâs a miss. But I can see how people would like it. I just felt like too much went straight over my head.
The pacing also did not help my enjoyment. The first half feels like a set up for the last bit 50%, of which the last 20% is the weirdest, but (in a weird way) the most enjoyable. The weird pacing made it feel more like a chore.
I also donât like a lot of smut and explicit scenes in my books. So I often felt a bit disgusted reading some of the very explicit and kinky scenes/thoughts. Stuff very quickly went from 0 to 100 without it adding much to the character dynamics or story in general.
All in all, not my thing. But I can see that there would be an audience for this, how specific it might be.

Also why are they eating Lembas bread from Lord of the Rings, why is that thing? It's the exact same as in Lord of the Rings, except they don't keep it wrapped up in leafs
