this is exactly how I felt about the book. I was shocked when people thought otherwise.

I feel like we read different books. Where is the Stockholm Syndrome? She thinks she’s playing the villain and making the other 1 jealous. I’m almost done and having a hard time finishing.

My biggest gripe with this book had no nothing to do with the dark aspects or the “love triangle”, it had everything to do with how boring it was! About 80% of the book was nothing but the same over and over again. I skimmed it just to get it over with. I gave it 3⭐️because the beginning was pretty good and the plot has potential, but overall it was a boring book.

I hated about 80% of this book. It was great when she wasn’t in the dungeon

It sounds like The Plated Prisoner series. I definitely wouldn't call it love triangle

This was a 6 star read for me. But this book is DARK… not a whimsical fantasy read.

Okay as someone who steers away from love triangles would you recommend it? It seems like something up my alley but I’m not the biggest fan of love triangles

I needed this. I’m on chapter 11 and I’m sitting here like.. how could he EVERRRRRR COME BACK FROM THIS? I thought he was the only love interest.

THE PROSE DROVE ME NUTS. She literally talks in circles the entire book. And there’s virtually no world building.

This reminds me of how I felt reading Rain of Shadows and Endings 😅 I stopped reading that series because I heard that the guy I spent a whole book HATING was endgame. There was no way! 😂

I LOVED this book and am foaming at the mouth for book 2. I love romantasy, I love dark and dark romantasy. This was dark romantasy perfection for me.

I’m hoping for more of a triangle in the next books👀 I’m not done with Valen. He needs a taste of his own medicine

This review is what I needed to pick this up, because what I was getting before was not it. No one was convincing me to read this. However, I’ve seen comments from the author about book 2 and it makes me nervous to go into the first book now.
