The book starts a bit slow but the world building helped a lot. I wasn’t too thrilled with the LI. He was very condescending and gaslit the MC a lot but it was very much the norm of fantasy genre romance. It’s also very on brand for the misogynistic society the MC came from for her to continue to be attracted to this type of character. I plan to read book two to see where this goes. The spice is a bit kink (audiences, rough play, etc). The vibe is very much the LI between the MCs in FBAA by JLA. The last 25% of the book is really what makes this.
