A pretty easy and fun read! For me personally the romance did get a little grating and cliche at times, but it drove the plot in a really great way, especially by the end, so I can't complain much. The ultimate climax was soooo hype, that was definitely the book's strongest part to me. I only wish the princess' handmaidens got even more screentime... TuT their individual concepts are so so cool and I'd love to get to know them more, I was honestly most interested and curious about them out of the cast. They seem so ripe for further development... I wish they had a bit more spotlight!
