This is a classic romantasy if there ever was one. A solid magic system and lore history and a sweet romance. I love the story. It could be a 5 star but everything feels like it moves very quickly, this easily could have been a duology and allowed a better paced evolution of character development. Like how did
Reina go from a jealous mean girl to being dead set on ruining the world?
A couple places felt like very heavy info dumps, again giving so much info that we don’t really get to explore. And of course, it wouldn’t be a romantasy without the MCs not being able to communicate effectively. Nonetheless, this is an excellent representation of the genre and I highly recommend.
