Cosy fantasy, with more fairy elements and lore than expected. Thought it was more academic but it was very adventurous as well.

So ... this is not romantasy but smut. The firstmention of an orgie is within 20 pages and there nude before we hit page 70. Hot and heavy before we hit the halfway mark of the book. I lov armentrout series i have since i read her origin series for the firs time. Whn she started to dip her thoe in adult fantasy wih from blood and ash i was there for it. But this one was disapointing. Wher hawke and poppy developed a relationship while we descovered the world they live in these caracteres go from sexual incaunter to sexual encaunter whit very little worldbuilding in between. Sinds i have alwayd love Jennifers stories this was enjoyable but a little disapointing.

Lover this book but only realiseren at about 85% that this was probably not a stand alone but a first installment of a series. Looking forward to the next one to see where Winnie and Jay end up.
