I really enjoyed the first book but I’m not sure if I’ll finish the series at this point.
I absolutely hate the relationship between Konrad and Helena. And her jealousy over his side piece was so frustrating and awful and painful to read.
While I appreciate that he wrote a female lead and she does have an interesting perspective at times, she often feels like a female character written by a man. It just didn’t quite hit for me and I have way too many other series to read that I enjoy.
