As someone who TORE through the Throne of Glass series last year, this book was filling the void TOG left in my heart. Similar plot in the most delicious, spicy way 🌶️ Immediately went and bought the next 3 books once I finished this

So this was okay. 
Not horrible, but not excellent either. 

The storyline and plot is interesting, but the writing... 

Lor, the FMC, lacks A LOT. I can't really described what exactly it is, but something was amiss. Her character didn't feel complete. 

Also, the world building was really shallow. Who or what is Zerra? Presumably a god or something, but I would need an explanation of that. In general, the world was missing a lot of details, and that made it hard for me to truly enjoy the book, since it left me with a lot of questions. 

The spicy scenes felt out of place and random, and the affection of the Sun King from the very beginning as well.

I will read the second book though, as I still want to know how everything works out in the end.

Good pacing overall. Kept my interest. Interesting world building and Fae politics. FMC with the potential for strong individuality, but had several moments of stupidity and naivety. Semi-predictable plot and characters, but the book still ended with a lot of reveals left... unrevealed but hinted at.
