It was just very badly written and not very original.
The MC was ~not like other girls~
There was a lot of emotional manipulation by one guy
The other was ~perfect~ because they both had dead moms.
There were a lot of things that didn't make sense. Also tw for su*c*de

This was soft as hell.

I actually stress cried reading about the election but the good gay content made it worth it

There was no smut at all like the title suggested but I still enjoyed it a lot. It was a solid fantasy.

I really loved this! It was really soft and wholesome.

I saw a lot of people saying they thought Selah was whiny and like she really wasn't?? She was a bit naive and sheltered and this was her first time exploring the world. She grows a lot through out the book and is a stronger, more reliable narrator by the end. She learns to follow her instincts and to fight back.

I loved both of the love interests.

The world building was neat. It was basically a world where colonialism took place but didn't stick and England never became a world super power. There were a ton of interesting bits. It pulled a lot from different fairytalws and stories, based on what territory they were in.

I'm excited for the sequel!
