I don't even know what to say?? Just so glad I read these and so glad I didn't listen to the weirdos who didn't like it. Not everything needs to be romance first, making sense second. Some things can be intense political intrigue and interesting interpersonal relationships between very dynamic characters, with a romance on the side that is such a glorious slow burn that you think you might die before it comes to fruition. Boy, was it worth it.
