I liked this one more than the last one but the last maybe 1/4 kinda lost me a bit. Up until then I thought it was super well paced, their connection was sooo cute and was developed so steadily, and the little world they were in was so charming! I loved Portia especially. 

The last 1/4 just kinda got out of hand with the magnitude of what they were dealing with and their communication totally fell apart!! I would have liked the whole “navigating a new dukedom” thing to have been explored more because it’s such a cool premise but it felt really rushed and underwhelming by the end. And the actual ending scene was just soooo rushed and far fetched, lol. 

But up until then I really really enjoyed and I’m excited to read the novellas/next!
