This one combines a few different genres. It is heavy on fantasy with world building. There is romance with major tension. It is also a murder mystery with twists and turns along the way. It also gives dark academia vibes that drew me in.
It took me a while to get into it. I felt like it was a bit of a slow burn on the romance. I was confused about some of the characters' back stories. I am glad I stuck it out. It was interesting to see how things went.
