My Review:
This book was so captivating! I found myself unable to put it down, and it was a great end to the duology. I enjoyed this book’s world building and character development the most. The romance was not as much as I expected it to be until the end, but that’s okay because it worked within the story. I think it is for sure worth a read. As far as tropes go it includes: enemies to lovers, slow burn, and forced proximity!
