I really enjoyed this. Lovely romance especially since I love seeing healthy romances. 

However. I have to say that plot wise it could have been more clever. There's comparisons of two different cultures one that forbids lgbtq folks' existence and the other that embraces. 
The good part about this other culture that is, Tithenai's culture, lots of diversity lots, more emotionally healthy folks, freedom of expression etc. 

My dissatisfaction comes with the political aspect. The system is still hierarchical. There isn't much light shed on how freedom of expression would work alongside with governance in a system where ranks and orders still exist and I feel like a very fun opportunity for something that could have been cleverly crafted was missed. Yes there's the sequel but considering the plot of this book I was left quite disappointed at the final reveal.

The world building and depth of the characters was amazing! Reading this was like watching a well directed movie: all the pieces were there and when they get slotted into place it simply feels right, not cliche or too simple.

The romantic tension in this book is so tight you could play it like a Harp
The world and character building are really amazing. I also listened to the book while reading it, the narrators were really amazing also and did a great job with portraying emotions that otherwise were not portrayed in the text. 
The slow burn romance caught me off guard. The first kiss happened about

4/5ths
