Honestly, insta-love is not my thing. The fact that these two after just minutes of meetings were so head over heals was kinda meh for me. The world building was great. Characters were great. But the whole gods-gift thing...was left completely unexplained. Which humans get them and why? How? Is there a ceremony for it? So many questions. I loved the idea, it just needs some finishing touches, in my opinion.
