Currently at chapter 11 and rethinking reading the rest. I listed a 5 star review, I'll update later depending on if it heads further south. The ages in this are a little too broad. Alistair (king /male lead) has been on the throne 16 years , based on how he's portrayed he took that throne as an ***** so he's a minimum of 36 years (if we're being generous) Eleanor ( cringy girl in love with the king, trying to marry Alistair) is 17 turning 18 in a few weeks. The "angel" Samantha/ ACTUAL female lead /green eyes girl who the king is actively searching for was born within a year of him ascending the throne so she's 16 at most, right now. Which also means she hasn't had her coming of age either (18 yrs). ML is old enough to be her dad. So will there be a period of time that passes or is the male lead really about to pursue a 16 year old when he's a middle aged man? Historically older rulers took on younger brides, misstreses etc, but this gives off a kind of predatory precursor to the story? I'm at chapter 11 and it makes me reconsider reading the rest. hoping this gets cleared and maybe my math is off or the author allows the upcoming female lead to mature more.

EDIT in a later chapter the author states that because the king has a different age progression it allows the romance to develop, but that technically it just means the ML looks young but he's still 36 plus or however old. The story also mentions the ML's 2 closest trusted advisors and "childhood friends", they are normal humans so that would make them mid 30's to 40's ... it's a blaring inconsistency. If the FL had her age adjusted even by 4 years older it would clarify a lot.

I love how the settings and characters are described with such detail that it is easy for readers to imagine them. The story's writing and pace flow smoothly; there are no jarring breaks that would make the story unpleasant. Overall, this work is shaping up to be a great read, and I'm looking forward to see where it goes!!

The synopsis got me good there! Such a fascinating way to start the adventure-a romantical adventure! As I read the novel, I notice that the setting of the story was well depicted by the author. Not only that it captivated me, and othe readers, but it also explains alot about multiple happenings, plus with the rich personalities of every characters!

The story is well written and has a very serious tone throughout so far. The setting is interesting and there's been a lot of build up so far for future events. My only criticism so far is the lack of show not tell. Several emotions that were outright stated could be implied instead with descriptions of facial expressions for instance.
