Recently a mutual of mine named Brooke reccomended this book to me because she knew I love soft and gentle mmcs and she was absolutely right! This book was so good!

This book follows a grim reaper named Victor and a high fae named Celeste who must get married in order to save Celeste's life. It focuses a lot on their marriage and how they fall in love which I absolutely loved.

The Good
I love Victor. He is peak soft male lead. I liked how much he cares about Celeste immediately and put her wants and needs first. He was so gentle with her and so sincere about treating her as best he could. Celeste was interesting and sweet. I liked the chronic illness representation and that even though she is getting better it wasn't automatic. Their relationship showed how you can be there for your ill partner while also allowing them to have their own personhood and decide their own limits. I liked the slow build between Celeste and Victor as they care more and more for each other. This book was very chill and more fantasy slice of life, there wasn't really a plot other then their relationship and I liked that.

The Bad
While I enjoyed the worldbuilding there was sometimes too much of it added that didn't feel important or necessary for the story. Like do I need to know about the dwarven trading and production? No, not really. I This only happens in the beginning during Victor's parts so it didn't effect my enjoyment much.

Tropes:
— Slow Burn
— Arranged Marriage
— Hurt / Comfort
