Honestly it was really really good at the start and then the romance totally ruined it. The prince was so milquetoast BLEH. The cousins were way more fascinating characters, and also the MC should have been queer (sapphic) - it'd make the plot wayyyy more compelling for that middle to second half. Also, not enough death alchemy amazingly enough
