The premise for me is not original but I loved how everything (the plot, setting, characters and mystery) was introduced and entirely played out till the end. I began to care for almost all the notable characters, despite how dizzying some names oftentimes caused me. Above all, I shamelessly enjoyed the romance. It made my fingers and toes curl of uncontained giddiness. I cursed the ensuing wars for being such a nuisance to the delight of my romance junkie soul. Said soul simply loved this book.
