A smuggler falls in love with another smuggler only to discover they weren't at all who they said... and suddenly the kingdom is falling apart. Who do you side with when you've fought on both sides?

This book was such a joy. I'm discovering that I really love some of the tropes in this story. I do think the cast of characters could be a little more diverse, and I did wish the story was not as predictable as it was.

I don't know what else to say. The characters are lovely, the story was great, and the pace was just slow enough to keep it full of suspense without stalling. I'd read it again, and I'd probably enjoy it too.
