Don't let the picture-book-esque cover fool you; this is an extremely well-written tale. The world building is superb, set in a fictional realm with heavy African and Asian influences. The plot drawn out in the classic epic style. The love tender. And some of the best sex scenes I've read in a while.
I look forward to more books from this burgeoning author. I read the series when it was on KU but I definitely need to buy them for my library, that's how much I loved it
P.S. I do still adore the cover art

Solid 4/5
1st true omegaverse read. Very sweet book. Love seeing non-European cultural influence in a novel like this - something I can't say I have seen much at all before. I agree with some other reviews that it would have been nice to see a little more of Suriya as a political figure or having more to do with the running of the country, but it wasn't a complete drawback. I actually didn't have a problem with the possibility of a second marriage like some as it was Suriya pushing more than Kenosi. I hate cheating plots but enjoy healthy polyamory, so I feel that that could've been a very respectful relationship if the author went that route. Overall, I enjoyed this book and was happy with the ending.

I enjoyed this!
This was a very sweet story. I particularly enjoyed Kenosi's personality and found his considering and protective personality very relatable.

There's gonna be some spoiler so read it at your own risk!!!
Right when I started to get into the book and appreciate The Tender and gentle delivery, and the writing Sometimes, maybe after like 80% of the book that's when it gets worse plotwise for this book.
It was so long and slow bruh, the fucking pace was torture it took me 3 months to finished this. The plot the storytelling how it really took routes on the traditional aspect of arranged marriage.
Like bruh be fucking fr with me right now
How are you as MY HUSBAND (kenosi) gonna be okay with marrying someone else because ME (SURIYA) Couldn't bear children,
Yall know how i feel about cheating or flirting with someone who isn't the love interest/mc so this one's feels like an arrow straight to my gut

I read the first section in one go and it was such a perfect stopping point that I got distracted and it fell by the wayside. I picked it back up about a month later and finished the last two thirds in a day and half.
It’s very sweet, with a thread of mild angst, but the emotions are kind of . . . not muted precisely, but because the MCs are from two different lands with different languages and customs, there are some understandable miscommunications (apart from the secret the omega is keeping from his emperor husband.) The feelings are mostly interior for most of the book, sort of restrained pining? Fans of Honeythorn who wanted something gentler might prefer this book. I’m definitely planning to continue on with this series.

It was cute and had it's moments but I skimmed a ton.
