(Review added Jun 12/2025 during re-read)
Did not realise re-reading this in the current social & political climate feels that much harder than I remembered. I still get an immense joy of the romance but the political part can be hard to visualize or imagine. It certainly is not the fault of the book by any means, just something to keep in mind if I plan to re-read this in the future.
