Felt so dated and I didn’t like the virgin princess-experienced barbarian dynamic.

I've been wanting to read this for a while and the adventure romance of it all did not disappoint!! The dynamic between Ai Li and Ryam is really well fleshed out and Jeannie Lin does an excellent job of showing where the puzzle pieces of their relationship fit. Minor point off for what I felt like was a super convenient ending and unexplained minor character development.
