I can’t believe how much I loved this book. Adventurous or action-packed stories often confuse me. And TBH there were some parts of this story that I’ll admit, I did not follow terribly well. But I got the gist. 

Many people describe this book as a genre bender—including that it is a romance. I do believe that marketing teams are using that word because romance is very trendy right now. But the love story in this book doesn’t follow any part of the romance genre. In all my years of romance reading, I have never seen characters fall in love like this. There is a love-story sub-plot that magnificently enhances the main storyline. But it is not the whole story by any means.
