It felt really rushed. I love the lore and exploring that world, so that gets  the three stars. Otherwise this felt like several pitches that were all still under development. It needed a slower placed plot with better character development. I also don’t know what the preoccupation with virginity is in romance novels (or more so why that archaic ideal prevails). We’re supposed to believe that she’s crazy hot but also 132-year-old virgin? Why? You can still showcase that two people deeply love and care for one another and that makes a physical intimacy more satisfying without having the women be virgins.
