Dnfed at 6%
I’m just writing this for my own reference bc I know I can barely count this as a dnf if I only read a chapter and a half.
I found the main character to be incredibly naive (like there’s one part that says she only just learned how sex works and she’s 17???). I didn’t like how physically aggressive the Dragon was with her from the moment they met. He also just gave me gross vibes when he was picking the girls. Which like duh I know we’re not supposed to like him at first but if he’s the love interest I don’t want him to be aggressive or seem predatory at any point in the book. You can make him an ass without those things. In the second chapter there was a misunderstanding that caused the Dragon to physically pin Agnieszka down and threaten her and it just made me uncomfortable. Plus I hate misunderstandings/ miscommunication. I also heard that he does some kind of unforgivable things to her later and I can already tell this book just isn’t for me.
I had high hopes for spinning silver so hopefully that one’s better.

2.5
I gave this 5 stars in 2016 (I was 14/15) and adored the story. Have been wanting to reread it ever since and decided to reread recently. I was flabbergasted by how extremely weird the story was and how uncomfortable I felt reading it. He is 100+++ and she is 17. It's gross. I remember that the story was really intriguing and I didn't notice the weirdness of it all back then but it has ruined the book for me now...
I'm not going to finish it so I won't even be able to mark all the graphic warnings but you get the picture.
