Loved this book! Definitely a romantasy book but the plot was what really drove the book, while the romance was also an integral part to how the story moved forward. I’m giving it 4 🌶️ for spice still as the scenes are very detailed but not the majority of the book.
The lgbtq+ representation was well done, especially as one character discovers part of themself in that community.
The story has political intrigue but there’s a ton of action to balance that out. There are lots of twists and foreshadowing that you don’t see coming until revealed.
The best part was how the author handled situations that are often tropes. I would expect a scene to go one direction because of that but the writing would handle it in a way that shows the characters maturing and opening up to each other.
