"There are a few explicit scenes in this book- there’s one that the fmc agrees to have s*x as that’s been assigned to her to uphold this society, but putting pressure on her. So it’s really not consensual due to the pressure and expectations put on her to make that decision. There’s a poly love scene later on in the book. Besides that, the rest of the book and the series has no romance, no more scenes like that, and has more of a friendship and platonic soulmates focus. "
"The multi layered narrative from the same but different perspectives was very interesting. However, the pace just really dragged for me. "
