Ya know, it was alright? I think maybe just not my kind of book. I was very stressed out a lot, and the romance felt rather rushed to me. I think an issue is that the protagonist didn't really do the political intrigue part of the plot, so we as the reader were kind of just sitting and waiting for the story to happen. I wish I could read Wren's story instead

The book was ok the pacing of the story felt rushed like the climax came to soon. I found Lei and Wrens relationship cute but I wish more time was dedicated to building it up the romance felt really sudden. As for the other paper girls I wished there was more time spent on fleshing them out thr book doesnt really explore much of who they are..
