I started the year with Kiera Cass and 169 books later, I finished the year with Kiera Cass.

This book was a great mix of political intrigue and an adorable enemies-to-lovers romance! Like any good enemies turned lovers, there were plenty of sword fights and verbal assaults that led Annika and Lennox (names I really like for these characters) to fall in love in a truly magical way. I think the way this book described love was fascinating way too look at love, as more like a sound that envelops a person.
I love Kiera Cass’s writing, so this book was a great way to end 2022.
Thank you to NetGalley, Harper Collins, and Kiera Cass for providing me access to this book.
