“I know you have your duty, and I have mine,” she continued, trying to keep her voice steady. “But that doesn't mean we can't be together, does it?”



i assumed this would be a full on fantasy, but i was pleasantly surprised by the amount romance. katyani and her daksh were giving i'd destroy the world for you & you've ruined me for everyone else energy and i was OBSESSED WITH IT!

while i appreciated the fast pace and how entertaining this was, the emotions the narrative aimed to evoke would have benefitted more from an additional book.

midway, i was thinking: this would have worked so well as a series! there were so many twists and turns and i liked (actually, that hurt) how the author wasn't scared to kill off her characters.
