i didn't like it very much. i actually thought the worldbuilding was fairly imaginative and it wasn't as cisnormative as this genre tends to be but the pacing gets extremely rushed early on and there's a lot of iffy misogynistic implications regarding one of the main characters and her love interest. the "enemies to lovers" thing is extremely forced and based on pretty much nothing, so i just found that aspect of the book incredibly frustrating.

if you're really into this genre and you'd like it with some more interesting worldbuilding you might enjoy this, but personally by the end i just kinda felt exhausted. definitely not a plot-heavy book, and the plot itself gets wrapped up very quickly once both the main couples are together. i could see someone enjoying this book but i really did not.
