While I did enjoy the duet narration the story felt dragged out to me. The slow burn between the MCs was too slow in my opinion. They didn't even share a kiss until like 70% of the story. 

I did enjoy the world building and the cast of side characters. I loved me some Tiffapine! She was witty and brought some good lightheartedness to the story. I will be continuing the series as I am invested in what will happen to Layala and Thane as the story progresses.
