Ok listen, was it good? …I guess that depends on what you were expecting from it. I enjoyed the hell out of this book, but if you’re going into it hoping for fleshed-out world-building and complex plot, you’re going to be disappointed. If you’re going into it expecting a dark, twisted, monster romance heavy on the spice? You’ll love it.
The plot and world-building in this book sort of only exist to the extent that they can serve as a vehicle for the smut, lol, and that’s fine! This book isn’t trying to be anything it’s not. It’s erotica delivered in a fantasy steampunk, 1920s London setting.
It’s candy. A treat. It’s the kind of book you read just for the sheer enjoyment of it.
