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.

It was a pleasant enough read but it dragged quite a lot and I wasn’t really connected to any of the characters.

Some questionable/cliché or just weirdly out of place quotes:

“I am filled with relief that she is not beautiful like the others. At least I will not be the ugliest one here.” — ma’am???

 “He is waiting for me at the foot of the staircase, and when I appear at the top of the steps, he forgets what he is saying to his steward and stares as if he has never seen me before.”

“At first it was easy […] and then you stepped in. You and your damned strategies and tactics and pigheaded stubbornness. If you had been content to let things happen, none of this would have come to pass.” — Scooby-Doo reference?

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.
