Low fantasy and British? Lots of cups of tea. There was the set up to make it interesting but then no details followed through with that.
“Enemies to lovers” idgaf. Also,
Low/non cringe spice.
I liked the gender equality and normalising of gays as just existing. It’s a side character thats some kind of gay. No commentary on it, just has a same sex spouse.
There’s a tiny bit of subtext alluding to someone possibly offing themselves. You’d have to be able read the behavioural tells to get it.
A character mentions a child having died in the past by drowning.
It’s fine. Eh. Mostly consumed as an audiobook and sporadically read along with the hardback. It didn’t hit.
Found out it’s YA and that makes sense. Kudos for exploring media bias for the littles. I still wish it had more detail and emotion to connect with.

My only concern was not knowing whose point of view it was, but it wasn't hard to figure out.
The MCs are so lovable, including the friends FMC makes along the way. I wasn't fully prepared to read some sorrowful moments, so it caught me off guard!
The chemistry between Roman and Iris is unlike any other. It is a slow-burn but it's worth it. I loved the idea behind
It made this book so joyful to read. I can't wait to read the next book,
