Normally I don't rate books I couldn't finish before I get halfway through - usually they just get marked as “unsuccessful attempt” because I abandon so many - but I felt the need to review this just to spite everyone on Booktok that made this seem like it was Gd’s gift to YA faerie fantasy.

This book had a lot of great things that I liked, a fae prince, witches, a magical maze, The Morrigan, and a friendly sea monster.  It is reminiscent of Percy Jackson & The Battle of the Labyrinth, but it’s adults and has some mild spice. (Lots of foreplay and that’s about it.) The characters were very interesting to me at first, I love the way they are described and introduced. However they do not seem to develop at all throughout the book and their flaws quickly become more and more difficult to look past. 

It is very frustrating to watch the FMC constantly struggle fruitlessly to get any sense of power or control in the narrative, cry about it, and then decide they’re helpless and do nothing. So many chapters end with “But choice did I have?” And I’m like OMG you had other choices you’re just passive and don’t believe in yourself at all! And she just cries so much. Whines a lot about doing the right thing to an ancient, blood thirsty fae who could care less. The MMC is very static and him coming to realize he has feelings for the FMC is like watching a baby realize it has feet. Emotional intelligence of a rock and coercive as hell. 

The ending was just okay. The sea monster was my favorite. 

TW: abandonment, infertility,  mentions of rape, coercive sexual situations,

Okay so let me just start off by saying this book sounded like something right down my alley. Dark male character. Witty spitfire female main character that practices witchcraft. But he threatens to SA her for literally no reason, multiple times, and he toys with her like a cat and mouse games. I just couldn’t give this book a higher rating for that reason. SA is no joke nor something you should include in your books without a trigger warning

Slightly disturbed. Cliff hanger ending. I don’t know why I read this book, I didn’t like it, and yet I really want to see were this goes (not in a good way) 
Info on the rape: (he doesn't do it, its talked about)
