The plot moves quite quickly but the romance is a slow-burn.
No sex scenes. Only 1 near the end but short and vague. No crude language or modern-day profanity.
Writing near the start felt a bit off, rushed (in thoughts and emotions) and on-the-nose at times where it just told the reader a lot. Got better near the end.

❤️ enemies to lovers
❤️ shifters, mages
❤️ royalty
❤️ knife-wielding FMC
❤️ multiple POV
(Dorin, Brielle and occasionally one of the antagonists, D’Aboville)
