This needs a sexual assault trigger warning.
I'm assuming the writer isn't aware, but the protagonist is in fact ra*ing his husband and the readers deserve to know before it happens. It's called ra*e by deception and will land you in jail in both Europe and America.

Here's the definition: Ra*e by deception is a crime in which the perpetrator has the victim's agreement and compliance, but gains it through deception.

(I'm not sure fictionpress will even allow me to use the R word so I'm censoring it.)

Honestly though the story itself was actually very well written and engaging, so I would have loved it had the main character not been so low down as to marry and sleep with someone while hiding such important information from him. That's not only a betrayal of the husband's trust but a betrayal to the readers.

I like the idea of a trans protagonist so I'm really disappointed by what happened. If there's ever a rewrite of this story with the ra*e removed I'd read every chapter and leave at least twenty reviews.

In its current form however I can't wish this protagonist well or ship this pairing.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I suspect hundreds of readers had this same concern but just quit reading instead of speaking up. I think the writer deserves to know though, because it looks like they have real talent and it would be a shame if they stay so underrated without even knowing why.

The novel was very interesting. The name is alright. I don't think it needs change. A lot of novels are like that the title of the book is not completely relevant to the story but still acceptable. In fact it helps attracting readers. Overall, the story was very compelling and fascinating. There were few technical errors, which I'm assuming you are in the process of correcting. There is one thing that left me curious. I want to know the complete story Svartene's (forgot the spelling, sorry) folklore. There were other minor topics that I felt was incomplete, but novel can move on just as well without them.
Kudos to you for writing a great book. I'm looking forward to more novels from you.

This is a great story-loved reading it, loved the protagonist, loved the system of magic/spirits in place. It's such a well put together story with a trans protagonist, which is refreshing to see. Thank you for your work, and I hope you keep writing!

Thank's :-)

I like your story very much. it's interesting.

hi,

i'm reading this story for some time allready but well... i'm lazy. i understand alhanuit very well if he says that he hopes that his dislike for some of the warlords doesn't cloud his judgement in this murder. i allready would had beheaded this disgusting guy who assalted alhanuit and thought himself sexy enough to think that alhanuit would sleep with this pig freely. *urg*
i hope you'll write more and finish this story.

i think i would get crazy if i'd know that someone in a high possition (aka near myself) attempted to murder a nephew of mine whom could be the future high king. especially if i'd have an idea who it could be. and this obnoxious nobles! *grrr*

till next time

I look for stories with a good writing style that makes for a good read and so I have found it in this story. This story is quite cute, I like how Alhawuit was so ready to help his country out. About his curse, what is it? If his gift is a silver tongue (which is cool btw), what is his curse? Is he a hermaphrodite? (Because he put a scarf down his pants) Anyways I am only on chapter 4 so on to chapter 5!

hi, i'm happy that you updated again. i'm interested to know what'll happen next. it's not really a cliffhanger but i feel as if it is one *lol*. one question, when will alhanuit send healers to the people of the island? as far is i see he didn't send a messenger to regend thelia yet.

cu koyama
p.s.: naturally i really like your story *smile*.

I find it hard to believe this story has only one review so far! I've spent the morning wrapped up in my duvet reading this story and I have to say I've enjoyed every moment so far. Alhawat is a very intriguing character and I look forward to finding out more of his game plan. Laquien comes across quite sweet really and I hope their marriage works out well - I'm rooting for them. :D Thank you for posting and I look forward to your next update.
