i liked this story. it’s not the best and was def frustrating but it was decent enough to spend the last two hours bingeing. i just wish it was written better. this story had the potential to be something great if they’d depicted jace’s trauma more accurately and explored it in more depth. here it’s not as fleshed out as it should be, seeing as how prevalent it ended up being to the whole plot.
i would also like to say the seme sucks. sure in the end he’s pretty sweet and ultimately gives up his nobility to be with his commoner lover but he’s also asked for consent like, once, and i cannot fucking believe this guy chooses to sleep with jace after he saw him getting raped AND kidnapped. TWICE. i don’t think there’s a single point where the duke actually spent time comforting jace and not trying to argue his point like he’s in debate class. i also wish they gave jace friends. there were so many ppl that could’ve been used to help jace open up and become a support pillar for him outside of the duke. no matter how much u love ur spouse u should still have a support circle outside of them.
regardless, it’s an ok read and u can get through it p quickly. just wish the writing wasn’t so trash.
