5.0

I fully expected to love Witner’s Orbit and I did! It was delightful to read! I was immediately invested in Kiem and Jainan as characters. Watching them fall in love was so sweet. The plot is a bit slow at first but it gives you time to get to know the characters. The worldbuilding overall is superb. I especially enjoyed the political aspects. I hope to see more books like Winter’s Orbit in the future.

One of the characters was previously in an abusive relationship and him recovering from that is a major part of this book. Nothing explicit is shown but it is mentioned and the character occasionally has panic attacks.
