Stars May Burn by Alice Ivinya
Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.

a political fantasy that is more historical romance with a weird zombie issue that they are fixing with alchemy. the politics were interesting but underutilized. it would flirt with the politics but it wanted more. the romance wasn't even enough to distract me from the light politics and the weird fantasy elements. 
fmc has a backbone of cooked spaghetti. just bendy and breakable. a sneeze will cause her to bend to someone else's whims. she was bland and was only interesting when she was talking about plants. 
mmc is wealthy, heir to the throne, always away fighting the war and is constantly dodging assassinations attempts sent by his pops. also his will says that his wife will get his entire estate in the event of his untimely death. security is what everyone, especially woman want in the world, and this man gave it to her without blinking. and he's never home, and when he is home so simp for her that he avoids her like the plague.  wow what a man and what a dream.
