"Nothing had mattered, with a pair of thrones between us, and my heart clutched like a rosary between his hands."
I have not read such compelling romantic tension, flirtation, and banter in a very long time. Absolutely beautifully written with well-rounded characters and concise story-telling over long periods of time so that even a "slow" plot felt engaging at every moment.
The prose felt authentic to the time period without being overly flowery or inaccessible.
And god, the yearninnnnnnggggggg. My heart.
There was some in my opinion unnecessary use of archaic offensive language.
