A must-read (or listen!)

I didn't want it to end! Unique story, with great world building. The shifting of perspectives was confusing at times but was quickly worked out.
Narrator was great!
Cannot wait for the next book!

Intriguing story 🐲 and interesting world building

I really enjoyed this story - an interesting FMC
and a broody male interest who wields shadows (IYKYK). The story was simple but set up for more to come in the next books. Well narrated, sometimes tricky to discern which perspective it was from, but only for a moment or two before it clicked. It feels Star Wars ish, I wonder if it’s got a bit of that as its pretense?

Porn in a fairy tale

This book seems targeted at a younger age group then Morphs into explicit sex. The contrast is jarring and quite frankly ruins the book. It then Suits neither audience.
