Aren the man you are!!!! 😍
Even though l'm not a big fantasy reader, I ate this book up!! The worldbuilding and politics were surprisingly easy to follow, and the story kept me hooked.
The romance was my favorite part (because of course - I'm a romance girly), the ultimate slow burn and enemies-to-lovers was done so well. Lara and Aren's relationship was full of tension and growth. I loved both the main characters and how they evolved and came to trust each other, never mind the ending of the book. Aren is fair, kind, and forgiving and I felt that his kindness affected Lara and made her kinder in return.
Plus other big highlight is the scenery and stormy weather, it made me feel so cozy throughout the reading.
The book wasn't perfect— felt the middle dragged a bit and could ve been shorter-but overall, it really surprised me. And ended up on a huge cliffhanger?!?! Can't wait to read the next book of the series
