Five fucking stars. I have yet to read an adult dystopian/science fiction romance novel and this absolutely blew me away. It reminded me a lot of The 100 with the plot but in the best way. The slow burn enemies to lovers between guard and prisoner was everything I wanted and more out of this book. If you are looking for spice it is a 0.25/5 🌶️ but the build up is SO good. Takeshi has me wrapped around his finger, so much so that I am immediately reading the next book.
“We were never worlds apart. If we were, you wouldn’t be everywhere inside of me. When I look at you, my chest feels like it’s about to crack open, and all the emotions I’ve beaten down to submission come roaring back with a fucking vengeance. For every scar visible on your body, I have to prevent myself from seeking out your assailants and slashing each one of their throats. I’ve watched you fight through every battle, despite the trials and tragedies you’ve faced, and it never ceases to astound me.”
