I enjoyed this book... but how much will reall  depend on how the series plays out. 
This book basically just set the stage for what is to come (with little resolution of its own).

The characters and forced proximity plot line are rehashes from many other romantasy novels, though Guanzon has a deft handling of the slow burn, enemies to lovers trope. Dialogue is unrealistically zingy but not unenjoyable. I think the world development and overarching plot is interesting and complex enough that the next book in the series will be worth a read. Since this is the author’s first novel, I hope the sequel will improve as the characters take on their own flavors to distinguish them from “just another plucky FMC with somber, powerful MMC mentor.”

Dieses Buch ist sehr offensichtlich eine ehemalige Reylo-Fanfiction, wo meiner Meinung nach teilweise die Fehler liegen.
Das Buch hat sehr viele Tropes, die zweitgrößte nach "Enemies-to-Lovers" ist "Arranged Marriage" was jedoch nie auf dem Klappentext ect erwähnt wurde.
Es ist ein meiner Meinung nach zu Romance lastiges Buch welches die anderen Teile des Plots teilweise komplett ignoriert, was ich schade fand. Zudem war die Entwicklung romantischer Gefühle für mich zu schnell auf beiden Seiten und ich konnte mir nicht wirklich vorstellen, dass die beiden sich über mehr als physische Attraktion von einander angezogen fühlen.
