Good lore, good plot, cheesy romance with not enough build up. Genre wise this is sold as a fantasy *with* romantic elements but the romance is surely the central plot point so if that's not what you're looking for skip this one.
The fantasy aspect was intriguing, I'm pretty excited with the world Pearson has built, although I'm not entirely convinced of her way of telling it (chapter beginning snippets outside of the central story.) Overall this was a quick and easy read that I breezed through so I feel like I can't be too critical.
I felt like the characters had clear voice, and the plot dragged a tad in the middle but all fantasy books tend to.
