I did not like this. I should have DNF it. 
It was insta-lust in the way I absolutely hate. I didn't like Thea, she came off as egotistical and "not like other girls". Wilders POVs were painful and he had no personality except being a "hot warrior". I hated the "romance". It felt like she was just ticking off a list of tropes. 
The plot and worldbuilding were basically non existent, a whole book of Thea just training and being a shit sister. This was essentially everything I dislike in a romantasy.
