4.0

I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy this book at first..the main character frustrated me a bit early on. But as the story unfolded and she began to grow and learn more about herself, I found myself really warming up to her. The author added a refreshing twist to the typical romantasy formula (no insta-love here!). The relationships felt earned, and the characters, shaped by their pasts and betrayals, came across as authentic and endearing. 

Above all, this is the ultimate grumpy-sunshine romance, and I absolutely loved that. It was genuinely sweet and satisfying, and as I said above, endearing. 

I gave it 4 stars because while I really enjoyed the characters and their development, the pacing dragged a little in parts, and it took me a while to fully connect with the story. Still, it was a strong end and I’m excited to continue the series!
