    It's been years since I last read this and I can still feel everything I felt while reading it.

    Compelling characters but I saw the reveal coming from roughly 10% in.

    It feels like a second draft that needed a third. There's a lot of quality ideas but they're just not refined enough.

    This book was definitely intended as a romance but while I believe Sarrica and Allen could be a real couple - there's nothing built to bind them other than each of them thinking the other is attractive. Ultimately, I do not think they're in love, and that's a death sentence for a romance.

    It's unfortunate because I think if this had leaned more fantasy the romance could have come off more solid as well as being more interesting as a whole.

    As an extremely personal nitpick - there's literally no reason for mpreg or explanation of it. The book takes pains to mention adoption and surrogacy as acceptable forms of finding heirs and then ON TOP OF THAT, mpreg. Just... Why?
