“You may not see it now, but when the time comes for us to go to battle, you will be brave for your heart is bigger than any I know.”
Premise: 5/5 - Friends to lovers with battles and a tale spanning decades.
Prose: 3.5/5 - Well written but long. Repetitive at parts. Sometimes a bit more “tell than show”.
Spice: 3/5 - Plenty of intimate scenes but they were not created equal and almost felt written to fill a quota. Lack of change in positions and mention of lubrication.
Tear-worthy: No, I didn’t cry. But it was definitely filled with quotable and lovely poetic passages.
