I wanted to like this more than I did. I think if you think you’ll enjoy this you probably will and if you think you’ll be on the fence you also probably will be. It’s not a bad book but I was mostly bored and wanting more in a lot of areas and less in even more areas. I won’t be reading the second book but I think just based on this one they could have been one book. The relationship is iffy, and both drawn out and rushed. I like a slow burn but there could have been more angst rather than one of the characters just having more information than the other. 

Spoilers ahead. 

Additionally once she found out she was upset for like five minutes and then the next day they were married?? 

I would have liked more from the brother and probably more time with them together before to see that relationship before we want to go find him in war. We got more about a sibling we ultimately don’t care about than we did for the one two people are risking their lives for.
