cause the politic is heavy in this one, and romance isn’t exactly the main goal of the story. their relationship is honestly one of the best (cause he’s an absolute green flag that’s actually respectful and not blood thirsty and she’s truly isn’t easy but she fell anyway) but it’s not everywhere. it’s a wonderful read if you like a more complicated plot but if not then maybe it’s not for you. i do personally really like it though!!
