I liked this! It felt slow sometimes & then really fast at the end but overall pretty evenly paced. It was political & romantic & had a little magic & a little mystery & I enjoyed every little piece.

The reveal of who was behind everything seemed very out of nowhere/rushed. Idk,, they explained it so it made sense but also it was so close to the end & then everything devolved into warmongering violence?? I was clutching my pearls but also enjoying it.

There was way more murder/physical violence in this book than I thought & there is some sexual violence at the beginning & the aftermath is a theme throughout the book so once again I should’ve looked up the content warnings. Anyway! I liked it, the romance was sweet, and the story was intriguing to ME! I hope the second book is good.

Also, I picked up this book bc it was on display at the library & then I saw in my camera roll that I saved a picture of someone recommending this book based on other books I’ve read so I feel like I was meant to read & like this. Isn’t that fun? (It is.)
