updated on second read: lowered score to 4 (from 4,75) because there were parts of the pacing and how quickly conflicts were resolved that just didn’t vibe with me. That said, the story itself is solid. Feels like it’s 60/40 romance to fantasy, and I think it would be better if there was a 50/50 balance. Some of the world building could go deeper, get more into the politics of it. Definitely excels in its characters and that’s what keeps you reading.
