I’m writing a review because from a quick glance on here, the book is polarising.
Was it perfect? No, but I loved it. The very very minor things that made me cringe are the only reason why it’s not a 5 star book for me. I haven’t seen anyone else complain about those things so I won’t bother going into detail.
Definitely one of my fave Romantasy reads for 2024 and now I have to wait for the next book

loved the aspect of adhd and neurodivergence, it’s so rare to see that. didn’t care much for the rest, i love a slow burn but this slow burn is 600 pages with virtually no plot. i was bored to bits. and i HATE the mmc.
wow i loved this. it took me a bit to get into the magic system and plot but once i got through the first 40% i was hooooked. i am hooked. for five more books (and a novella).
DNF 57%. haven’t picked it up in weeks it’s not bad but I need to come back to it at another time

Usually, slow-burn books irritate the living crap out of me and this book was one of them in every satisfying way possible. While waiting for the romance to build, the fmc goes through a long journey of figuring out her magic and piecing her history together.
In retrospect, the book has no business being over 550 pages long. There were a handful of chapters that perhaps mould a character better but redundant to the overall plot. Plus, all the repeated POVs were making me bored, “I think he’s lovely” “she thinks I’m lovely” OKAY WE GET IT LETS MOVE ON.
And that ending! I didn’t mind that it was predictable but why did he stop worshipping the ground she walked on? If the mmc is so infatuated with the fmc, I highly doubt he’s willing to be the cause of her heartbreak.
I’m still on the fence to read book 2. If its equally this draggy, count me out.
