Errors/lack of communication lead to unhinged amounts of drama. It's very entertaining.

Meh. Not a lot of steam way too much drama. I don't like Gregory. He's a stalker, ties Lucy up in a not sexy way, and believes he can own whatever woman he wants even if they don't want him. There's LGBTQ representation but Gregory is kinda terrible to him. But at least they don't make him the bad guy, progress? It's rushed in the end but so slow the rest of the book. I have mixed feelings about Lucy. She's supposedly close to her family/found family but doesn't know them at all. Herminoe/her brother, Her father, and Uncle. Both her brother and uncle treat her like shit. It doesn't take much for her to believe her father is a traitor. It's so clear it was really her uncle that she comes off super naive. She knows she going to marry this one guy but never meets him, writes to him, or tries to learn anything about him till a week before their wedding. All of the men in this treat Lucy and women in general so terribly to make Gregory look like a hero. I hate the epilogues in this one. There's no Whisledown or Lady Danbury. How does it compare to the rest of the books? Not well.

The Epilogues are horrible and the reason for a lot of the tags. You can take off pregnancy, medical trauma, and most of the body horror if you skip that part.
