I really loved the concept - Ilya and Danya had beautiful chemistry, built upon genuine affection. It was compelling and begs for a sequel. However, sometimes it felt repetitive and overly "tell" instead of "show" - focusing more on internal monologues than external motivations. Regardless, it's a beautiful love story with some divine violence and retribution.
