It was addicting, as in I couldn't put it down and lost sleep over wanting to read the next chapter. Characters were great, and their relationships with each other were nuanced and personal. It didn't feel staged, if you know what I mean. Basically, I feel like some books put characters in a relationship just to add the romance. That didn't happen in this. At all. It didn't feel forced.
Not exactly spoilers, but details regarding character relationships ahead:
I also loved the way Asher and Ky interacted. Kemmerer really showed that as Asher was coming out of his shell, 'like a wolf emerging from a cave' (or something like that :DDD), Ky was the person he needed, instead of Jory.
Also, Kemmerer does a good job of balancing Jory's naiviety and bravery. She isn't a damsel in distress or a push over, but it's clear she's sheltered. I think that is exactly what most princesses, who actually give a damn, would be like.
I didn't give it 5 because:
1. Some dialogue felt awkward to read
2. I feel like we didn't get enough explanation for Ky's thoughts and opinions, even during his chapters.
3. I found the foreshadowing with V very obvious, so it kinda made reading those chapters boring. Also regarding her, I don't like the way she was introduced (I'm not talking about her condition). I mean the way she (and her condition) was described. Especially since she is a princess, so I think she needed a better introduction.
Overall, amazing! Really hoping to get the ARC lol. And I will probably, surely, definitely reread.
