Well it was really meh that I noticed I was skimming through the book. I guess I couldnt connect to the characters, like I didn't care about them at all. 
 Funny, i love slow burn romance but somehow I didnt like how the romance went in this book. I just felt everything went too easily and the tournament wasnt so challenging. 
 I loved The Star-Touched Queen though. Probably because there was a Hades/Persephone retelling. It helped a lot. But in here, theres no retelling. Just an enemy prince and princess forced to work together. It had all the elements I loved but in this case, it didn't do it for me. :(
