I have to say, the first half of this had me gripped, it's a really entertaining romantasy with some interesting worldbuilding as part of the premise. The characters are excellent, well fleshed out, and their banter is top notch. But I'll admit this was a DNF for me, despite my best efforts. The pacing of the second half just wasn't as engaging as the first half, and while I loved the light-hearted and humorous aspects of the writing, they didn't gel well with some of the darker content like Lucian's kidnapping, which felt like an about face turn tonal shift. The blend of genres is really interesting, but perhaps just wasn't for me - other romantasy fans may love it!

A truly vital book that takes a UK specific look at racism and anti-blackness.

Accessibly written, but you'll need to keep taking breaks to put the book down, scream, rage, and calm down before reading the next chapter. Essential reading for everyone, this book neatly deconstructs pseudoscience and science alike that have been used to justify unequal treatment of women for decades.

This book is a great and eye opening look into the war on drugs in the UK and gives a lot of weight to the idea of decriminalising drugs entirely due to their nonsensical class system in the UK.
