I had extremely high expectations because my #1 favorite BookTube gal is obsessed with this one. It didn’t quite live up to that, but it’s a very well written story nonetheless. I liked the spy storyline much more than the romance plot. Our FMC is seducing the enemy king to get information, and their relationship was actually more complex and interesting to me than her real love interest. The ending was kind of weird and unsatisfying, but I also understand what the author was trying to do.
