Solid 3.5, I mean it's a prequel. I liked getting some more context but once again it feels like Sarah did not know what she was doing with TOG and is slowly piecing it together. As for the"love story" honestly boring. I mean I love yearning but it feels so major in this book and TOG, and after that it's like "SAM WHO". I wouldn't reaf again but glad I read it because I see how it's important to the series/ excited to see where it leads.
