Ohh I loved this one - Sophia and Sikthand have such a tumultuous relationship which eventually becomes adoration for each other.

The relationship felt natural, easy and was very well written. I loved the Grumpy x Sunshine trope and how Sophie, after losing herself when arriving on Clecania, finds herself again. 

Sikthand’s background is hard, he’s had a very difficult life and I can see why he’s so edgy and anxious around this situation he’s been put into. And because of this, I personally think that his development as a character is one of this authors best.
