Ik vond dit boek veel beter dan ik had verwacht! Het boek is spicy, maar ik vond dit goed in het verhaal passen. Adrian is ook echt geweldig. Hij is duister en mysterieus. Hij heeft vreemde acties, maar zijn beweegredenen zijn op het einde logisch en helder. Ik vond dat het verhaal een goed verhaallijn had en dat de spice daar helemaal geen afbreuk op deed. Ook vond ik het plot slim bedacht. Ik zelf had halverwege de puzzelstukjes al bij elkaar gevonden, maar ik wou perse doorlezen om te zien of ik gelijk had. Het boek staat vol mooie quotes en uitspraken. Het eindigt een beetje op een cliffhanger, dus ik ga zeker de andere delen lezen als deze vertaald zijn! Ik heb de prachtige limited edition mogen ontvangen van zomer&keuning en ik kan je vertellen dat deze zo ontzettend mooi is. De schrijfstijl van deze auteur is in dit boek wederom erg prettig. Het boek leest snel weg en ik vind dat het heel beeldend geschreven is. Ik voel echt alle emoties die door het boek worden beschreven, alsof ik het zelf meemaakt. Ik vond het echt een perfect boek en het had zeker een 5 ster kunnen zijn als het woord "neuken" niet zovaak voor zou komen. Het woord "neuken" klinkt zo bot en grof. Ik had het veel fijner gevonden als er een andere benaming gebruikt werkt. Ik stoor me bijvoorbeeld veel minder aan het woord "seks", omdat dit veel minder grof klinkt. Ook stonden er wat spelfouten in. Ik heb ondanks deze kleine punten wel enorm genoten van het boek.

I wanted to like this more than I did.
There is a tad too much focus on the smut, and not quite enough on plot or character development for my personal taste. But it was a very easy and quick read that I still enjoyed. Currently have rented and am reading the next book in the series because I’m curious enough that I wanted to know what might happen next lol.

I don't know how to rate this. Do I think it's a Good Book? Absolutely not. 
Do I think it's good within its category? I don't hate it? The category being: smut/porn with a plot/romantasy. 

I didn't find it as predictable as others have noted. I did find myself wanting to continue reading. Okay, the exception being that there was a part in the book where I couldn't bear another sex scene so close together for lack of substance. But after that, it got better. 

Basically: it's an easy, enjoyable read. Don't expect too much.

Also, I'm not one for quotes but that part where he goes something like "you doubt my ability to conquer a kingdom, fuck my queen, and hunt a witch?" LOVED IT.
