This book was a mixed bag for me.

On one hand I was super excited to read it. After finishing Captive Prince I was hoping for another goldmine in the Fantasy M/M genre. I was also terrified that my possible goldmine would inevitably wind up being a landmine instead.

It wasn't. :)

I had some issues with the book. First, it jumps right into sex pretty fast which threw me off because I was anticipating a more serious fantasy book, and I started to feel like it was more of an erotica. Second, because I wasn't really connecting to the characters.

Still, what was lacking in the beginning was quickly made up for. The two main characters, Theos and Finn, had a banter between them that I found so surprisingly funny. What lacked in the world building was more than made up for in the connection that grew between the two MC's, so much so that my hesitation faded away and I ended up reading the whole book in a day.

3.5 star read, based 75% on character interaction. Not bad. I'd read another.
