Pretty standard solider vs. assassin, cat-and-mouse type romance fantasy. A few little twists and surprises that keep it interesting. Sympathetic and likeable, if mostly bland, characters that grow a little (but predictably) over the course of the book.
I disagree with this being labeled “enemies to lovers” as Esha and Kunal pretty clearly like each other from the very beginning despite their roles keeping them on opposite sides of the conflict. They never seriously consider each other an “enemy.”
Esha’s character felt less dynamic and real than Kunal’s, like he was the main character and she was a supporting role. Hoping to see her character grow and develop more in the next book.
Also hoping for more background on the binding process that keeps being mentioned, and some more intentional world building.
