This book was PERFECTLY paced, but it’s still a slow burn. There’s a few bits of excitement and action. But, the characters shine as the observe the world around them. I definitely would describe this as an opposites attract romance, with a backdrop of mystery and magic. The main couple, Robin and Edwin, must keep their attraction secret because queer men could be arrested and charged. But even after they can’t resist one another anymore, they both wrestle with what the future could possibly be. Oh and MAGIC!! That’s what brings them together and it’s a unique system I am sure will be explained even more in the next book.
