This story did not really succeed at anything. I didn't hate it, but neither did I enjoy it. I found myself struggling to finish it. I just didn't care. It wasn't science fiction or fantasy, there wasn't enough detail about the world or it's customs. They were only hinted at and aluded to. It certainly wasn't erotica, there was no sensuality and very little sexuality. It was really only a romance in that the epilogue hinted at an HEA.I did not become vested in the emotions of either main character. They just were not defined enough for me to care. They were both rather two dimensional. The events were distasteful, which is fine if you are vested in the characters and rooting for them to triumph over adversity. Unfortunately, I didn't care enough about the characters to overcome the nastiness of the situation they were in. There wasn't enough emotion between the characters to make me believe they felt anything for each other, beyond the physical desire that was forced by magic. Not a good enough reason to believe they loved each other.I think I would have been unhappy if I had paid actually money.
