I'll give this a one-star rating because I think the concept of a hidden city is interesting and with more development, this book could have been good. The sex scenes honestly felt like there was a lot of dubious consent and then the final scene includes
revenge sex that the FMC isn't aware is revenge sex
which is tbh super
rape-y and IMO would read this as sexual assault, personally
and I felt like it needed a trigger warning. I didn't like the MMC or the FMC or their relationship and was just generally disappointed considering how 3 separate booktokers raved about it. Also there was like zero reason for them to be
fae
like they could have just been
humans with powers
and it honestly would have been the same book. Also for a fantasy book, she's wearing a
literal crop top at one point
and it threw me out of the entire book entirely.
