At around 500 pages for a price-tag of only 99 cents, I think this book was a pretty good casual read. It's nothing super special or amazing, but I read it over the course of two days and saw it had some merit. The story isn't bad and the baseline of the characters isn't bad; in fact, I think I liked the plot and setting a lot. It was entertaining enough to hold my attention. I like fantasy and I like romance, so this was a worthwhile casual read. The editing was pretty good, I didn't notice many mistakes if any, and I think the author is pretty good at formulating a plot. This book had a lot of story; much more than I normally expect from a book filled with several erotica scenes.But I'll be totally honest I knocked off two stars for a few reasons.Firstly there's some sexism and not-okay things happening. The book sort of shirks Frey keeping Finnie trapped in the other-world without her knowledge and consent and then tampering with her birth control as "well, cultures are different and we can't judge them as right or wrong!" which is absolute nonsense. I don't care what culture you're waving in my face, any that seeks to limit, restrict, or otherwise deny autonomy and liberty solely on the basis of gender identity or sex is awful and wrong and not justified. Then there's also "men can have affairs after marriage but not women because they gotta be moms and not have the paternity called into question" like please, spare me this outdated sexism that tries to justify why women shouldn't have affairs because they can get pregnant as if a man impregnating a dozen girls isn't irresponsible and bad. At these moments I was just rolling my eyes and groaning.
