I think I'm done. The narrator constantly referring to people who she knows the names of as "the female" just sounds so objectifying and disrespectful.

"He's not a danger to me, he's my mate" sounds a lot like the fae equivalent of "my boyfriend won't actually hurt me, he loves me" after he abuses her

Saying you want something when magically forced to seems a bit wrong. Like "hey do you love me?" "Yes because I'm being forced to".
Also, if you're actually important to your people as a leader then to hell with your selfish fated mate. The needs of the many come before your need to have sex with one woman.

Sigh.....yet another incident of insta jealousy despite never actually touching his mate. Seriously, uncontrollable and violent levels of jealousy over a mate you haven't even kissed yet? Yeah major red flag. Also, getting angry because your partner feels attracted to another person? Also major red flag. It's natural dumbass. If you actually think her body will stop responding to other guys you're dumb AF.

Here's another problem I have with Fated Mates. When they're magically induced to find every thing about their mate as attractive it makes compliments pointless. Like "Oh wow they're so hot". Yeah well you're magically forced to feel that way aren't you? So like do you actually think they're attractive or do you have magical Stockholm syndrome? Remember in this world, fated mates cause unwanted, uncontrolled boners

The characters are alright but the whole fated mates thing is annoying me. One because it objectifies the characters. Oh she's not a person with her own feelings she's my mate. Two because the jealousy trope....like if you're fated to be with her who cares if she talks, hugs or even has sex with other people? Lol also the jealousy only extends to other men, guess she can have sex with women without jealousy?
