This book was given to me for either my birthday or for Christmas approximately one million years ago and has sat on my shelf for over a decade waiting for me to finally pick it up. And I'm glad I finally did! It's a little heavy on exposition and world building early on, especially in conversations which are just clumsy ways to info dump, and the prose didn't always work for me, but the characters were great and the story was interesting and I'm really enjoying the slow-burn romance between our leads. 

Cannot wait to continue on with this series!
