"that was reciprocity—reaching out your hand in the dark, offering it, and hoping someone reached back."
an ABSURD DELIGHT!!!!!!!! the exact “okay just ONE more chapter” book i’ve been craving for ages. court intrigue & resigned fealty turning into PURE TRUST IN THE FACE OF DEATH & hot boys sneaking around the city in the dead of night & the ridiculous urge to perform reconnaissance missions even with dagger wounds all over your perfect body. also ROMANCE!!!! an unbearable amount of sexy handholding! there is NOTHING hotter than lying in the dark inches away from the person you want and not kissing them. ALEXANDRA GETS IT.
i loved every character so much, especially anxious messy prince kadou and my number one boy evemer, the most judgmental bodyguard/priss in the country. AND one thousand extra stars for tadek, who could have been annoying in a less confident writer’s hands but instead was uproariously lovable & bitchy in perfect ways. when he realizes the Truth like 50 pages from the end and just CACKLES until evemer threatens to drown him??? “oh, fuck, i think i just got religion”???? incomparable joy.
i just loved it so dearly. i could have read 500 more pages. my FULL throated recommendation!
