Yes, I did get drawn to this because of the hype surrounding it and yes, the hype is deserved. 

Honestly, this did start a bit slow for me so I didn’t love it straight away, but that slowness worked as it allowed us to meet our protagonist without immediately being thrown into a romantic storyline. The author really did a great job of blending fantasy and romance. 

Once we got into the challenges, this really picked it up and I fell for the storyline, the characters (who felt very real) and the relationships (and not just the romantic relationships, but the friendships and the familial relationships too). 

By the ending I was absolutely hooked and asking myself why I had waited so long to pick this up.
