As most can agree, this was ALOT of world building and some plot. But I think the clunkiness of the world building did struggle with getting through to about 70% when the plot thicken (literally). But I really did enjoy the ending and the twist. There is definitely slow burn romance but I think this more about the love left behind and following grief and the true bonds of friendship.
Tropes: slow burn, friends to lovers, angels and demons, fantasy, shifters, found family.
Trigger warnings: grief, death of friend, suicide, gore, death, war, injury
