Super enjoyable. But the slow burn might’ve flown a bit too close to the sun with this one.

This book had:

✨ yearning and pining to the absolute max

✨ a marriage of convenience with the hint of ‘gender swapped’ alien culture that makes this series so great

✨ she ~does~ get chased

✨ the SLOWEST of slow burns

This book is 450 pages of pure forced proximity slow burn.

• Was the yearning squeezing my heart to bits? Yes.

• Was there major on-page falling and romance plot pay-off? 💯

• Did almost nothing else happen (besides pining) for the bulk of the book? Yeahh. And that’s why this book went from a five star to a four star, for me.

Also, points for such a uniquely characterized FMC. Because she genuinely thought she was a witch. And she didn’t let waking up on an alien planet stop her. She made potions from alien planet herbs she knew nothing about and imbued objects with full moon rays from lunar cycles in another galaxy.

I mean, delulu is the selulu and I appreciated her commitment to the bit 😆
