The love between Hakon and Aislinn is so compelling and even though I’m not one to reread books, I know I’ll be going back over passages in this story. I’m also impressed by how different storylines run alongside each other, how instead of each story starting where the previous one ends that everyone’s lives are happening at the same time. It was really well done and it’s fun to catch sides and scenes where you know what’s going on outside the main character’s purview. Anyways it was a great time and I can’t wait to read the next one.

Still, there is tons of longing and slow building romance to be had and Hakon is a delightful MMC with plenty of dashing bravery, heartfelt love and abounding loyalty to savor.
Loved the neurodivergence representation with Aislinn. I felt conversely that Hakon's disability was represented well initially, then relegated to pointless character device in the second half of the book.
It had the opportunity to be important to his character development and success or to at least be acknowledged as still there.
Ah, well. Not a 5 star read like the first, but still enjoyable and I would definitely read another in this series.
