It be easy to say this is enemies to lovers or sunshine/moody or call it a coworker romance but it really isn’t. The romance is there sure but reading this(while I SO wanted to see them together) I also wanted to see how they interacted with everyone else and see how they realize their feelings. It was more like a romcom where the main characters are more afraid of their feelings than they are oblivious. Over the story was great, awesome fantasy elements, cute humor and all and all a solid read. Sometimes it felt like big reveals weren’t explained enough but that is also a bit of a personal preference. I am also now truly a victim of the book as I torturously wait for the sequel in August.

I’ve never read anything like it before, but it’s not my usual genre.
For a romance novel, there is surprisingly little coupling off. But, there is so much internal monologue about being interested in being a couple, that there’s little room for world building. Despite mentions of windows and lamps, it felt like the characters were running around in a black void. They never even explain the magic systems.
