I loved this book. I found it a bit slow at times but it was mostly paced well. It was slightly frustrating that it took so long for the person writing the letters to Iris to admit who he was, but other than that, I loved it. I can't wait to read book two and the ending left me heartbroken.

Cute story and my only complaint is I wish the gods and world were fleshed out more. Hopefully the next book goes into more detail about those things. I liked all the characters and the pacing was good.

Loved the plot, level of romance was good for me - and I'm not really a book-romance person - the only thing is I thought it took a little while for the plot to get off the ground. Loved the rest though!! Definitely recommended, but maybe not for super young readers - there was a little bit of sexual content in one scene and one or two fairly descriptive kisses.

I thought this was a good book! I will definitely be reading the second one and I’m excited to see the world building and character development changes in the second as well. I only rated 4 stars because I feel like the “hidden identity enemies to lovers” trope is overused at this point but it was still a good book!

Two married characters sleep together, and it’s not graphic, but it’s not a fade to black.
