5.0

This book is a highly political story with a threat of Civil War at its core, with a romance sprinkled in. Honestly, the main plot could be summed up is how are people in power abuse the power they have over others. 

The writing style was beautiful and intricate, it had so many perfect Syfy elements, and realized in such a vivid detail  

I think that the subplot that focuses on the struggles with mental health and self destructive decisions of one of the main characters was well done, and thoughtful in it’s execution.

While the romance isn’t the main focus of the book for me, it IS one of the more beautiful romances that I have read in a long time. The book touches on aspects of consent, trust and communication, all while being able to navigate really stressful situations with a partner. SO WONDERFUL.
