I immediately fell in love with the titular characters and their inner circles. Everyone is complex yet lovable, and the reader is empathetic to their individual struggles. My only critiques would be that the world building lacks some necessary details and the B-plot (especially towards the final act) is a bit predictable. Though it is set in the medieval period, there’s some modern social elements added to make the book more digestible to YA romance readers. I do not mind these changes, but I wished they had been outlined more clearly as it sets the stakes for the characters’ relationships and ambitions. Overall, though, this is a fairly lighthearted, fun read.
