4.5⭐️ rounded up

I adored this. It was sweet and beautiful, and I thought the story was perfect start to finish. The banter between Tavik and Gelya was hilarious and genuine and I kept grinning as I was reading. Don’t get me wrong, though, this book is PAINFUL and will rip your heart out… but there are just as many sweet, funny, and romantic moments throughout.

The religion aspect was so awful with all of the devout, fundamentalist beliefs. It caused so much harm to so many of the characters, and it made me so angry as the reader. I definitely felt like screaming BREAK THE CHAINS at many different moments
