Had absolutely no clue what was happening in this book except the world revolves around sex slaves and a 1500 year old man is in love with a 12 year old girl. Little to no explanation of how the magic works. I found this book so confusing and disturbing. I kept reading thinking there’s got to be a moment where this all comes together, but alas that moment never came. Based on the reviews people seem to either hate or love this series. Just not for me.

The idea of book's plot was pretty good, but when I read the book I've got problems with understanding the character's hierarchy. And the biggest disadvantage is no map in book, whitout book's world is a mess!
However, I like the book and I will read the next part of the series
