3.5 stars

I enjoyed it, the story is beautifully written and the imagination behind each character and world building is incredible if my review was based on that alone it would be 5 stars.

"I'm not human wife"
"but your still mine, husband"

my favorite quote

The fact that these two fell in love with each others souls is beautiful, i adore how the love loyalty and trust grew between the two main characters.

Despite all this the reason i gave a 3.5 star's?

it was very slow.

Sometimes there was too much inner monologue and description between a conversation i got lost as to what was actually being said between characters. Also for me too many people introduced too quickly with hard to pronounce unfamiliar names i took a while to get who was who.

The story jumped around in the timeline a lot which is unique and beautiful but hindered my reading enjoyment a bit, i'm also not a huge fan of upper class perfect ladies, Brishen despite being a lord and gentleman did offer a little extra, i think we saw this only from him as we saw him interact with people more familiar to him.

I really do recommend this book as i know a lot of my friends on goodreads are raving about it, i will read 2nd book
