This book deserves more hype!! I think the cover might be a turnoff for some, it is not as "scifi" as the cover promises. This is a tender romance with a twisty court politics plot - in space!
This book did so many things I hate so well. The miscommunication trope in the relationship usually would have made me dnf, but it made sense because they were both trying to be too respectful of the other.
The author did such a good job at showing the power of charisma and persuasion without making Kiem cheesy or unrealistic. And Jainan's trauma is portrayed so delicatly and is in no way exploitative or used as an excuse for bad behavior.
I fully believed in this romance and I'm so glad they got a happy ending!
I used to think only one bed was my favorite romance plot, but it's actually ONLY ONE TENT!!
