I had to skip the unbelievably cringe and terribly written "sex scenes." They were soooooooo bad. The story was ok. I was much more interested in the politics and world building. The "romance," was unnecessary.

I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe like an old Enid Blyton type story (which it kind of is).

The story, writing and characters were beautifully written and realised. It was so different from what I usually read (romantasy, historical fiction etc) but right up my alley.

In complete contrast to the MC who is very straight laced, the rest of the cast is quirky and also entirely worthy of a book of their own.

Literally a breath of fresh air
