This is not your normal Romeo and Juliet retelling, as it has some fantasy elements, but sometimes it overwhelmes you with all of the world building and setting that it forgets about the main plot for some parts. And it was such a a shame because in those rare scenes where it was a romance it excelled at giving you sexual tension and romantic interest overall.

I will be continuing the series :)
