I enjoyed this book because it blended together romance, history, mythology, and fantasy. There was a little bit of everything!
Like several other reviewers have said, my feelings shifted at some point between the middle and the end. Roman and Iris’s romance went from 0 to 60 slowly (which I enjoyed), but then it seemed like it went from 60 to 100 almost immediately. It got to the point where it felt rushed and unrealistic. I kept trying to tell myself that, in times of war, timelines are very different, but still. I wish it packed a heavier punch.
I enjoyed the writing style!
I will be reading the second book when it comes out, because I am dying to know what happens next!
