This was not good. The world building is poor, the motivations for the characters are dumb. The FMC is so so so so so annoying. She doesn’t have an OUNCE of critical thinking. The romance is not romance. I was promised banter and there was no flirty banter it went from “I hate you” to you’re my fated mate and don’t stop boning me in like an instant. The FMC is just a straight up moron. She’s annoying, whiny, and has literally no purpose in life except being the chosen one in a prophecy.

I liked that this book was more fantasy-romance than romantasy, the FMC can be annoying sometimes but she's so young and everyone keeps lying to her so idk how much of it is her fault really 

700 year age gap relationship with your long lost dad's bff who's also the king of a shifter kingdom is insane
