I always feel over the top giving a 5 to so many books, but honestly, I feel this one deserved it. 

I was genuinely excited to read this book as I love a bit of bridgerton style drama. With magic added in, it was sure to be at least enjoyable. I wasn’t prepared though to fall head over heels in love with the book!! 

This story genuinely surprised me. I thought it was going to be all focused purely on the lovey dovey, against all odds, slow burn romance set in a era of royalty and balls etc… and it was! But it also had so much depth and intrigue. 

The activism and fight against classism, the LGBTQ+ aspects, political match ups and slow burn romance unfolded in such an interesting way that I couldn’t stop reading. 

I loved the characters and the setting and even more so the representation. 

Being a standalone also gave me a feeling of satisfaction. A must read for me and potentially a re-read as well.
