I honestly don’t know what to rate this. Was it good? Not really? I had A Time for sure. The first like 1/3 of the book is extremely slow. Her father is the scum of the earth. There’s a marriage of convenience of course. Weather magic which was kinda slay. Mediocre smut :/ But then a little political intrigue and things get WILD in the last 20%. Honestly around then when I was getting worldbuilding lore dumps (which should’ve happened much sooner) I realized it’s a series 🫠 Overall definitely could’ve been at least 1-200 pages shorter. But am I gonna make everyone who told me about this book stick to our buddy read? You betcha

Oh also they’re German the audio narrator does a German accent for Wynter yes spelled with a y 😭
