A cute and engaging adventure! I listened to it in one sitting on a long drive and it kept me entertained the entire time. Reminiscent of Atlantis or Treasure Planet with a slow burn rivals to lovers romance like Anastasia. I liked the setting as well as the vulnerability/emotion of the MMC, but didn’t necessarily love the repeated damsel in distress trope. In any case - can’t wait for book 2!
