I really liked this book! It was mysterious and had a good romance and bond between characters. I wish there was a little more adventure in this book. It felt like it was more mysterious than adventurous. I do love a good strong badass female MC. I
I do think it was really weird that she had to have sex with someone to heal the poison from them.. thought that was a little odd.. not really sure why that would be her gift.

This is one of those books where I liked the platonic relationships better than the romantic ones. I loved every moment of Ismae with the duchess and it was so cool seeing their friendship blossom in a believable, touching way. The romance was fine, but I felt myself rooting for the powerful lady duo instead of the main couple. Overall, a great book with intriguing characters.
