Honestly such a great book. I didn’t love the war aspect, which is something I knew I wouldn’t like going in. I wanted to see what the hype was about and honestly it’s a good book. The romance seems natural and we get to see it’s progression over many years.
Spoiler I really enjoyed the end of the book too, despite the war arc, where you get to see the fatal flaws of the characters really come to light and then how no one truely has a say in how they are remembered after death
