The prose is really pretty at times but the romance takes forever to get going which is a stark contrast to how quickly the character development is. It feels like the backstory of the female MC is supercharged then there's a lull for a while while we wait for the romance to get going and by the time we get there the book is basically done. I'm also not totally able to grasp the politics of the world so the tension felt less compelling.
That being said, there are some really great sequences in this book that were pleasurable to read. I just had to wait too long in between them. Also, not enough dragons.
