This was the lightest on plot out of any of the books so far, but I don't think it was detrimental. We got a real strong focus on the couple and with more page time dedicated to them I think we really got to put the work in to developing them and their relationship, which was nice to see. And it also didn't feel insta-love because not only have they known each other for their entire lives but Drew's feelings are established before the book starts, so it feels like we've already had some off-screen development, offsetting any of it feeling rushed over the short amount of time the book takes place.

I liked this one. The couple was good and we got a lot of conversations about boundaries and respect which I really appreciated, but honestly pretty much everything else happening in the plot was more interesting than the main couple for this one, no offence to them. Everything happening with the Council, Sascha and Lucas, Sienna and Hawke, I was more invested in those plot threads than I was with the romance.

Still, I have nothing to complain about. I'm super excited for the next one!
