The FMC’s willful ignorance after being given the literal opportunity and space to look things up about the Fae race is pretty annoying. She reads about everything and STILL doesn’t put  two and two together! 

There was a few things that made this stand out from the Fae fated mates books that are out there, but it’s fairly standard stuff. Maybe the spice is amped up a tiny bit. 

The world building was a bit slow to to catch my interest, but that changed once Estrella was on the run.
