 The characters were great, the world building was immersive, and i enjoyed the slow burn relationship development. So, all in all, I loved everything everything except for the mystery side of things - to be honest i don't like murder mystery/detective as a genre at all, but i was willing to put up with it for this book. If I didn't have a general dislike of mystery then this book would've been a solid 4.5 stars :)

4.75 to 5 Stars.


I really liked this book, it really hit me right. There are darker themes but I think the trauma and healing was handled very well. I really loved watching our main character start to move forward, while getting wrapped up in the drama of his husband's home kingdom.

There's an arranged marriage (semi marriage of convenience, if convenience for the good of the two kingdoms counts) and murder mystery. Plus lots of underlying plots playing out. I enjoyed the pacing and writing and I really into the story the whole way. I will certainly be continuing and reading the next in the series.


(Content warnings, sorry if I missed a few on page SA/Rape, PTSD, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, some violence, some torture)
