Chris Law wrote: "The Familiar is on here. Is it any good? What about the other five?" nope. It was incredibly boring. She's trying to cash in on the etl immortal bf tropes that are popular now in fantasy but has no backbone to actually write a conplex etl romance. Santangel was milquetoast and boring. Shes scared of writing actual etl because she became a moralist who sides with antis and shouts down at people who like dark fantasy. She made sure to insult any fans who do like dark fantasy in her press tour
