I wish I had stopped before that chapter.
I was so turned off by all this that the enjoyment I had had thus far completely vanished. You'll beg me before I come back to you". POSSIBLE SPOILER: I keep seeing this happening in so many gay romance stories (and I always hate it) where a character has sex with a woman just to prove something, but this one was so disgusting to me, doing it in front of your partner and then being like "What did I do wrong? Why are you mad?. This one started out great for me and I enjoyed it UNTIL the scene in the brothel. Just a note, this book is part of a duology, but to me they read more like a single long book, and Part 2 continues directly where Part 1 ends, and completes the tale.1.5 stars. I hope to see more of her books coming to audible. Overall, I highly recommend this book, and this author in general. I don't think he brought anything particularly special to the story, but neither did he distract from the story with things like overdone character voices or a totally wooden narration. As for the narrator, I found him largely unobjectionable. Though it takes place in a fantasy setting, there are many relevant real-world themes, such as the racism Kiram faces, and the homophobia of Cadeleonian society, that elevate this series from "just" a fantasy novel or "just" M/M romance to something more poignant that will stick in your mind. The world-building is intricate and fascinating, the plot draws you in, and the characters are all complex, all with their own flaws and their own motivations. Ms Hale is an incredible author, one of my favorites. It worked out great that the audiobook came out now. Ginn Hale recently released a new Cadeleonian book and I was meaning to re-read the earlier books to refresh my memory. I have the book on Kindle but it had been years since I'd read it.
I was so excited when I saw this on Audible.
