The Good
This is my first adventure into Sarah J Maas’ work, and I really enjoyed the fantasty elements of this.
I expected this book to a gladiator style fantasy adventure where the main character fights to earn her freedom and I was not disappointed in the slightest.
I would recommend this title to fans of Sarah J Maas and those interested in the forbidden magic setting.
Despite my better judgement I will be reading the next book soon.
The Not So Good
The female lead is a strong woman who seems to hate all other women?
The tension between her and Dorian makes me sick, yes she is 18+ but she is a prisoner! just ew bleugh ew.

And the bedroom scene is so lovely—it’s worth reading through all of their ceaseless banter!” ew ew ew ew bleugh ew
