This is a mediocre version of A Marvelous Light bt Freya Marske.

Setting is very interesting and mystery elements as well. mlm relationship is rather a subplot and everything just randomly happens, but is very cute. 

Grace is the worst.
I see what author tried to do with her character arc, but it was unconvincing, I hate her and don't believe in her redemption. I wish she would go full villain.

Overall a good story. I'm left mildly unsatisfied by the ending and how it all shook out, it feels like it pulled punches to provide a "happy ending", something like how I felt at the end of Eat the Rich, in which the story wasn't necessarily bad but didn't really feel like a, for lack of a better word, "realistic" ending.

I am, however, brainrotten, and can only think about parallels between necromancer/cavalier relationships in The Locked Tomb series and the stormsinger/secondary relationships in this book. Fascinating!

I loved this book. The beautiful writing and descriptions pulled me into the world better than anything I've read in a long time. The world details that were just there and not necessarily explained made it feel natural that I should know them and, again, pulled me in. And then the romance. Tender and sweet and organic.

As someone interested in WWI, I enjoyed the clear parallels and the interesting new aspects added to the familiar parts.
