I expected too much from this. It sounded British and fun. And it was i guess, it just probably wasn't the part I expected to enjoy. The romance itself was on the boring side. I couldn't quite see what the too perfect to be real Freddie saw in the unkempt scatterbrained disaster that was Maggie.
However, I really did enjoy the bits about the history and atmosphere of the Tower of London. It's really like a small town inside London and all the characters were very interesting. (Especially all the ravens that were fleshed out characters in their own right.) I would read another book about life in the Tower immediately, but as a romance this fell flat.

Most Emotional Abuse (Minor) warnings I tagged were from references to Maggie's former relationship with Bran. The Alcohol (moderate) was Maggie's semi-heavy drinking to cope with disappointment, after one failed date she drinks 2 bottles of wine
