This is such an amazing read, and I am so thankful to Taylor Hubbard for giving me the chance to read an advanced copy. This is proof of Taylor Hubbard's range as an author. This is a character driven dark fantasy featuring a morally grey MC. If you're looking for romance or an HEA, then this won't be it. BUT if you want intriguing character study, a not-so loveable but super interesting MC, and unique world-building, then this is the perfect read for you. Also, the trans rep gets 5 stars on its own. I love seeing a story with a pre-op trans character because we exist and are still valid in that presentation. My only qualm is I wish there had been a little more world building solely because I found it so interesting and just wanted some more time a focus to get more familiar with the universe this story is set in. All in all, this is absolutely great, and I'm not at all surprised from what I have read of Taylor Hubbard's other works. This is definitely worth checking out.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
