My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25*
My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: I listened to this on audio, which may well explain my one criticism. I felt like, at times, things jumped, and I had a hard time figuring out if I was in a flashback, a memory, or if something weird and magical had happened. I felt confused sometimes in this book about where and when I was. That wasn't a complaint those who read the book seemed to have, so I think that may have been a medium problem--meaning a problem for those who listened on audio instead of reading. This is why I prefer to read fiction rather than listen to it when I can.
So many of my friends loved this book, which is why I decided to read it. When I'm reading, I tend to get lost in the book and not remember what other people think. This is no exception. I loved so much about this book: political intrigue, true enemies to lovers, banter, character dynamics, world building, etc. This book did a lot exceptionally well. I'm extremely curious to see what happens next.
I think because of the medium I read and my difficulties at times understanding where/when I was/what was happening, it lessened this one slightly for me. Otherwise, I'd probably have rated higher. I can see why many are obsessed with this one. I really liked it; can't quite say I loved it as much as others.
This is a slow-burn enemy to lovers, so for now, no spice in this one. We'll see if that holds. I still would put this as adult fiction though.
Love,
