I didn’t connect at all with this story. It has been recommended to be time and time again due to the MC being ace. That’s great, but it’s about the only part I somewhat cared for.
The story was all over the place, with secrets on top of secrets on top of secrets. They lost me halfway through with all the spy agencies/ secret societies and royal intrigues. I didn’t really connect with any of the characters, and the ones I did appreciate weren’t developed well enough in my opinion.
It’s not a bad book, I just didn’t care for it.
