The structure of this is wild. Based on the description and the fact that there is a fluff version, I assumed it would be a full blown spicy romance with fantasy elements, but it is a very slow burn romance with a the plot being mostly about politics. I did absolutely love the slowburn and enjoyed the political plot, even if it wasn't expected. I think structurally it should have been two books because Ursula is really thrown in at the last minute instead of giving her a romance she deserves. While I didn't love the structure and pacing, I also had a lot of fun and will be reading the next one.
