Intricate action-packed read!
I love me some good political machinations! The author did a great job with intricate, but not overwhelming, world-building - creating a great cast of characters, each striving to achieve their own goals. Both MCs were appealing, and reading about them trying to extricate themselves from various political tangles to come out on top kept me engaged from start to finish. I also really loved how the villain wasn't portrayed as just another mindlessly evil person out for power and destruction, but rather as someone with their own not-unrealistic worries that drove their actions. Overall, a really well-done, enjoyable read! Highly recommended!

Unlimited Kindle freebee, but
Much better than some books I have bought. I was hooked after the free sample, and not disappointed as I added the whole book to my Kindle. I finished the book in one day. The characters and story kept growing in intensity and the climax made me want more. So, I will be starting the next book as soon as I can download it.

It really is a good book, there are a few small editing errors but for the most part very compelling read! The plot is decent and the love feels genuine. I will say it was incredibly frustrating to read how happy and grateful Jihan should be to marry Kastan, like the fact that they liked each other somehow swept under the rug the whole forceful nature of them even getting married. Especially for Kyras lines, it was incredibly annoying to read.
The end plot just felt very rushed and unrealistic due to the speed of it all. Basically if you're the type of person who wants full consent/participation for marriage this may not be your book. If you're not then knock yourself out. Outside of the whole marriage plot, I wish we had seen some of the moments Jihan mentioned like sitting in Kastans lap while he did military stuff because it seems very cute, but hopefully will see more of the actual relationship next book!
Very few times do I read a book and find myself enthralled the entire way through. Beautifully written, very tastefully done and was just a delight. I ended up binging the whole thing and immediately buying the second.
Rarely do you find a man loves man romance, that is written with such skill. Not only are the characters rich, but the plot line the twist the politics. The whole structure of the story is just beautiful. I cannot wait to read the next book. I’m so excited there’s a sequel. I cannot wait to visit the amazing world created by the author.
