3.25 ⭐️s.
The beginning was quite slow paced and the plot and my interest did drag and wane a bit towards the middle but the last 23% or so of the book made up for it with action-packed intrigue, mysteries and that freaking cliffhanger ! Also, the political arranged-marriage to reluctant allies to lovers trope was so so well done ! Really enjoyed reading the high political intrigue AND THE SLOW BURN WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS 😩🔥 Can't wait for book 2...
