Was it perfect? No far from it. Did I enjoy it? Uhh.. Complicated question. The first half was great 11/10 top-tier entertainment. Second half lost me a little for varying reasons. To start, the fmcs possesiveness and confidence felt too stark of a contrast to the scared girl we started with. Definitely for someone who's never been outside living in a world where women are things to be bought and traded. (There's a lot of these little and even some big inconsistencies scattered throughout the story.)

Next to this, the Aziel mmc is suppose to be an asshole I get it, but for an all-powerful, 500 year old demon, he felt juvenile. This became worse as we went on and I really could've gone without it or the load of other woman drama.

Then the fmc becomes downright cruel in some of her words to the mmc that has been nothing but kind to her. Yes he's a golden retriever of a demon that is completely clueless about how to be tactful, but he's never intentionally hurt her. Yet at the first fight (I get why she was jealous but still come on), she starves him (lust demon) and on another she says things she knows are sensitive subjects. This feels very juvenile again. I could get why the fmc would be acting juvenile but this is contradicting a lot of her other behavior.

At 80% I accidentally spoilers myself on something that happens in book 2 and I do not care to read those tropes so I don't think I will be continuing this. Certainly given this book already showed there was little follow-through on healing from mentally impactful traumatic events. (Or mature handling of emotions at all.)

Such a promising setup with the dystopian world, almost extinct females, dynamic of three demons, and found family vibes. The opening of youngest member, golden retriever lust demon, needs someone to feed him so much older morally-black-grumpy-demon gets him a female hooked me right away. Yet it fell flat for me in the end. Dissapointing read.
