I enjoyed this. It took me a few days to get through because it's been a busy stretch, but it was always something to look forward to. The elements themselves are fairly standard romantasy but well executed and the story and characters developed well across the book

Maybe I would have enjoyed this read more if I had read the Kingdom of the Wicked series first and understood the world more. That said, the first 275 pages felt so slow compared to the latter half of the book which felt rushed at key points. Some of the writing felt too vague and ignored opportunity to elaborate when needed, while other aspects of the book felt too literal in their descriptions and dialogue. Just not for me.
