It started out kind of slow and seemed like a basic “princess
in an unwanted arranged marriage accidentally falls in love with the prince who was undercover”
type story, when it started picking up, I really enjoyed it—especially the magic system. I also really liked how the author wasn’t afraid to
kill off characters
