It's one of my go-tos when I want to re-read something that feels confortable. I love the characters and the feelings the book evokes. It's really refreshing reading something medieval-like with healthy relationships and without rampant misogyny: there are a coulpe of sexist coments from secondary characters, but they are not really relevant to the book, and are quickly dissmissed by the main characters. 
The plot has some dark points (see the content warnings), but the darker stuff is often insinuated or briefly mentioned. 
I've read it in Spanish, so I can't really rate the style.
