Let it be known that if you thought this was a YA Fantasy, turn around now because this is better suited for adult audiences. Unless graphic sex scenes don't bother you, then you have nothing to fear... well, at least, in that aspect. There were many other factors in this book that I thought were far more concerning than what happens between a male thingy and a female thingy.

First of all, what the fracking hell - was there even a plot in this book?! It was 300 pages of sex, magic, witches and pseudo-court intrigue and none of the substance those themes call upon. Second, why am I not surprised to find another fantasy where women are treated as prizes, sexual objects, and properties of men?

As this book is part of an unfinished series, I have decided against reading it. I don't want to get attached to a series that will never be finished. It's like loving a TV show and having it cancelled prematurely. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

As the first in the series, it slowly built up the world. At times, too slow but it quickly picked up the pace mid way. I am curious to see how this series shapes up as it has all of my favorite elements, romance, royals, and magic! The concept and plot are unique and refreshing. This book set up enough intrigue and court drama to keep me entertained and I need to know more! The chemistry between the two mc's is evident and hard fought. I would like to see more of their evolution in the next books.
