I worried this book would drag because of the length, but it kept me hooked. It's filled with intrigue and keeps you guessing until the end. I absolutely adored both Vel and Cai, and felt especially protective of Vel. I found it interesting that the author chose to write Vel's perspective in first person, and Cai's in third, but I understand why. It does make you feel closer to Vel and experience his pain and fear on a more visceral level.
The mystery had me theorizing the entire time, and I liked that it wasn't simple to figure out, though I did guess correctly about several things! I'm excited to see where things go from here in book 2.

Too OTT, corny, and clichéd. I guess I expected better quality writing from this author, but this reads just like all the other low effort contemporary omegaverse books out there. I know it's meant to be light-hearted smut, but I didn't find it all that hot, unfortunately.

Never a dull moment, despite the length. Great character and relationship development, exciting plot, and emotionally gripping. Perfect if you're looking for a love story with betrayal and groveling. I loved the vulnerable moments between Sashen and Araxis, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they work through things after Araxis' betrayal came to light for their HEA in book 2.
