I think the best way to describe this book is slow. Slow world building, slow plot progression, slow burn romance. If none of that is appealing to you, then I would skip over this one haha. It was definitely a lot of "on the run" -- okay so like 95% of the book is just them walking and camping out and sometimes running across ne'er-do-wells.

Pros:

🍎 Great character development.

🍎Believable slow burn romance.

🍎 Interesting world-lore and magic system.

Cons:

🍎Little plot progression until the last 10%.

🍎 Really an almost 500 page camping excursion.

🍎 Bros have so many close calls that it takes the suspense out of it by like, 60%.
