I enjoyed this more than I expected I would. While it’s certainly reads like a YA (yes, we get the yearning tension already plus that villain reveal I called 1/4 of the way through) but it has elements of NA with a blend of Victorian society regulations (get over it and just kiss already) and modern feminist values, which I highly appreciated. I think past me would not have appreciated the historical context and allusions as much as present me did. Definitely worth keeping on my shelf for so long and so glad I finally gave this series a go. Super exotic read the rest.
