First off the characters and lore in this world are masterfully made, and yes this book is slightly barbaric with a few pretty dark and slightly disturbing parts. The most annoying part of this is that I was really looking forward to more gayness. There is some graphic F/M fucking and one M/M dry humping scene, so while there was some, the amount was a bit of a bummer. :(

To be honest, Domino seems like a bit of an idiot..... (ok a massive one.) Hope he evolves out of that phase and soon.....

I do love Gus, poor tortured Gus, I absolutely adore his magic and can't wait to see how it evolves in a (hopefully done soon) sequel. I need to see them TOGETHER again. I JUST NEED IT.

The rather abrupt ending was really frustrating, I was really looking forward to having more interaction between Gus and Domino, their story really separates, which in my opinion is disappointing and what made the first chunk of the book so much better than the second.
The ending also leaves a literal mountain worth of cliffhangers and loose ends.

Note to self - read the book (again) and the sequel (when it comes out) you will not regret it!
