I literally physically could not put this down (I read the last 300 pages in a day), because it is that good.
The romance was just the perfect slow burn with all of my favorite tropes executed perfectly. Both Crier and Ayla felt so real to me and I fell in love with both of them.
But the story aside the romance was just as great. I loved the way both Crier and Ayla had their own arc and their own secrets and motives that they kept from each other and how both arcs came together in the end.
Also, the writing style was beautiful and the world was believable and nicely crafted.
