4.75/5

Loved this book! The characters were such a mood sometimes, and I really loved reading from Lara's perspective. The world building was great - I felt like I could vividly picture everything in my mind. The politics were laid out in a way that was really interesting but also easy to understand. I was invested in the romance, the politics, the intrigue, everything! A lot of things were super predictable, but I honestly didn't mind because I was enjoying the ride regardless. Definitely recommend this one if you're into fantasy romance!
