This book! WOW
The first half of the book is reminiscent of red queen, however it’s world building and imagery is really good!
It’s a simple, fun and easy read
I was squealing at the banter, and the tension was amazing
It was slow burn and instant love at the same time(?) in that mc and love interest didn’t acknowledge their feelings for one another until the end, but since the start there was SO MUCH PINING
Overall, 4.5 stars
It’s great for reading when trying to get out of a slump, or after you DNF’d another book. I would recommend it as a closed door, romantasy book (:
What would make it better and bring it up to five stars would be: less instant love (love interest liked mc since the start) and once the got together, more romantic moments.
