I see how my 15-year-old self loved the series so much. Now that I’m a bit older I see how obvious some of the tropes are.
Still appreciate the intricate world building Harkness has done with this book. It enthralls and captures the attention. The romance, though fast paced, doesn’t feel forced as you follow along the main character’s thoughts.
Overall, really great for guilty pleasure reading or if you want to disconnect from the real world.
