This took me what felt like forever to finish the plot wasn’t very interesting and neither was the slow burn enemies to lovers thing that was going on
Fantastic and brutal.
The story was very enjoyable, as well as the political intrigue and plots. Sometimes during spy missions characters would sit and monologue about their entire plan, which felt really silly, but that is about the only complaint I have.
One thing I don't quite understand is why Leo doesn't seem to mind that Gemma has a horrible opinion of him. Like, I get the impression that he's trying to change her mind through action, maybe? But when others actions force him to look bad, he doesn't seem to bother trying to explain himself. It's a little odd. But I like it, because obviously it drags out the slow burn.
I loved all of the characters and the depths to them. I can't wait to read the next one.

Good. The main character is a bit annoying - she is both confident, but yet constantly second-guesses and struggles with inaction. That is really confusing and grates on my nerves. I am hopeful for the next book.

<strong>Can't regret the lack of sleep</strong>
I was not going to stay up and read this book. I was going to read a couple of chapters, go to bed, finish it tomorrow.
By the time I remembered that plan, I was three quarters of the way through it and sulking because I couldn't just STOP at that point.
I didn't stop.
I'm glad and annoyed. It's fine.
Gemma is an interesting character. I enjoy her. I never at any point didn't. Which is surprising for me, but she has a practical head on her shoulders and a strong sense of duty. Both of these things I can appreciate.
Do I also want her and Leo to end up together? Of course. I'm a sucker for stories like this. Except Romeo and Juliet because oh boy those two are a problem.
But really like those two. I want them to end up together. I think he would make a good king. Preferably for her kingdom after they get married, but that's just a hope.
Gemma's bond with Grimley is precious. Reminds me of most D&D Rangers with a beast companion. Keep them out of the fights as long as possible because getting them hurt or killed is worse than the PC dying.
Leo's brother is a raging dick and I can't wait for her to kill him. He's the worst.
