Saw the book on BookTok and it did not disappoint! I found out about the series yesterday finished the first book today, and have started the second one already. It has it's normal tropes, morally gray mc with a sarcastic, sweetheart FMC. The morally gray Valroy is funny, like his and Abigail's banter was just amazing, honestly my favorite part of the whole book. You really just fall in love with the characters as the book goes on, you want Abigail to figure out the Maze and hopefully get her freedom back, but you also want her to figure out the Maze so that maybe she sees Valroy isn't really as bad as he is.

There's alot of different mythical creatures in the book and they're all different and crazy sounding (in a good way) there's like a person who's made of glass, but can also shape shift! 

The ending in this book made me rush to getting the second book and I'm so excited to see what happens to Valroy and Abigail.

Also Abigail isnt some 17 girl, she's around 25ish and that's sooo nice to see an "older" fmc. Young fmcs aren't bad but I don't want to read about a 17-20 year old in explicit scenes. (There's no sex in this book) but there was some detailed scenes.

If you love a toxic villain love interest à la the Darkling, look no further. Kathryn King's Valroy, Unseelie Prince, is the perfect wicked villain to sate your dark desires. Though there's less spice than I'd like in this book, there's plenty of mystery, intrigue, and constant teasing to drive you through to the very end (and I've read Julian Strande so I know King is going to deliver). Thankfully, the next installment comes out in December, which I will most definitely be reading.
