I didn't realize it was a romance when I picked it up, but I figured it out pretty quickly and there was plenty of the Magical Scholars content I was looking for. And the romance itself is very cute, so I didn't mind at all.
None of the story is plausible in the least (and it even pulled the "but that only happens in STORIES" line, which make me roll my eyes very hard) but it was a fun read. I enjoyed it a lot!
I'm generally very much tired of the "our hero(ine) is secretly or discovers (s)he is a prince(ss)" trope, but to my surprise, I actually enjoyed the way the author worked it here. Maybe it's because it's done as a mystery/thriller sort of plot instead of a Grand Destiny? I do love mysteries, intrigue, and being fugitives for crimes they didn't commit.
