I really liked the dry tone at the very start of this book. I would’ve wanted more, but the main character quickly softened. I was expecting a book full of flahbacks that would turn into lessons and I got a little bit of that, but the focus quickly shift toward the romance. Not a bad one, but not a great one either. There was a lack of depth in the evolution of their feelings in my opinion.

I predicted the very end of the story, but one part really took me by surprise.

If the synopsis speaks to you, I would still recommend it, but be aware that it is a romance in a fantasy world more that anything. (Still a cute book though!) (And the cover is 👌🏻)
