Meh. There wasn't really anything new happening in this book if you know what I mean. I pretty much predicted everything that would happen in the plot and the tropes are familiar to all of us.

Somehow I still found this story kinda charming though. The tropes that Briggs uses are some of my favorites and I thought the romance between Rose and Raith was cute. But what I really loved was the world building! Hearing about all the different kingdoms and learning about the magic system was the best part and I'm excited to explore that more in the next book.

I really love when romance series have a set of main characters that each get their own book and I can sense Briggs setting up the series that way. I'm 100% here for it and am super curious to see where these books go!
