House of Pounding Hearts by Olivia Wildenstein
4.0

Caw!

The series continues to be incredibly creative with complex but digestible world building. Admittedly the lack of trust and "will they or won't they" between our main characters got a little boring early on, as obviously, they will. She can be a little bit insufferable but his inability to actually tell her literally anything didn't help. When they finally had their moment I was less "omg!" and more "f'ing finally." But the world and the writing bring me back for more.
