I DNF'ed this book at 50%. You may ask why since I enjoyed the first one so much and there is quite a variety of reasons.
First off, it was very kissy and talked a bunch about certain...stuff. It never outright said what it was implying but beat around the bush in such a way that it was obvious. There just came a point where I did not feel comfortable reading any longer so that is partially why I quit.
The other reason why I quit has to do with a worldbuilding thing. This book is set in a fantasy world in what is likely a past time (tech was not very advanced.) However, it got very preachy on political stuff pertaining to current matters. I felt like it was talking down on a lot of people who may have different opinions but still accept the opinions on others.
All in all, I am quite disappointed, especially since the first book was one of my favorites from last year.
Rating: 1/5
Language: d***
Romance: very kissy
Spiritual: did not finish
Violence: did not finish
Note: very modern-day political (set in a fantasy world)
