There’s no easy fantasy escapism story here - only murky, morally gray characters caught in a losing battle on all sides. It wasn’t perfectly done, but I really appreciated seeing a very real depiction of humanity where we don’t have all the information, where we don’t magically know the right answer or find the ideal solution. We stumble in the dark and do what we can with what’s in front of us. And, all things willing, we learn from the consequences.

Is there a colonizer romance? Yes
Is this book a lovers-to-enemies trope? Also yes
Do with that information what you will
[Side note: this better stay an enemies to lovers trope or else I’m giving this review 0 stars]
