Space boys solving a space empire's problems and falling in love while they do it. 💯 I love a slow burn romance, though I will say the slowburn on this one is based in misunderstandings from past trauma. TW: DV.

Pros: 
❄️ Great plot progression with a believably solved 'mystery'.
❄️ The romance is cute AF and it's sensitive towards things such as healing from DV and grief.
❄️ Interesting political intrigue plots that make sense.

Cons:
❄️ Reads a bit like fanfiction - polished fanfic, but it has the vibe.
❄️ Kidnapping trope my dudes.
