No
In a word… farfetched.
Selah was not believable as a girl capable of being in charge of anything, let alone a kingdom. She read more like a 12 year old than whatever age she was purported to be.
The worldbuilding was deeply confusing. I could not tell what alternate time period it was supposed to be (sometimes it felt pseudo-modern, and sometimes it felt 1770s), and there were so many locations and names to keep straight.
The insta-lust was eye-rolling. I can barely acknowledge one romance per 400-page book, let alone 3 in one book.
Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be reading the sequel.
