There is some romance in this story, but it is not the main focus, and the “heroes” are very much secondary characters. (Albeit very charming ones). Spiciness is fairly tame - it’s mostly longing looks.
Overall a fun read, with increasingly like-able characters. (Low key obsessed with Celeste.) Not life changing - I did not want to stay up all night reading this book, but I’ll definitely read the next one in the series.

The first half was a bit slow but i’d say necessary? And then everything fell back in place in the 2nd half of the story.
2 love relationships, very different from each other. I loved both !
And the few end chapters wrecked me !
Spoiler
The separation between Wren and Tor was heartbreaking. And Elske running to save her but abandoning her master 😭A great reading !
