⭐⭐⭐⭐ (rounded up from 3.75)
It’s taken me multiple tries over many years to finally get into reading this, and I’m glad I did. The book is a very slow build, and the first third felt repetitive, with the MMC repeatedly rescuing the FMC from one perilous situation after another. That said, once it finds its footing, the payoff is worth the effort. The character development is excellent, and the FMC in particular really grew on me—she’s the standout of the story. Overall, I’m happy I stuck with it and I’m definitely looking forward to continuing with the second book.
