I'm not really enjoying this anymore. It feels YA even though the characters are supposed to be in their early/mid-20s, there are some peculiar writing choices that bring me out of the story, and I'm already over Grey as a character. She doesn't deserve Keir. Also, there are hints about trans people and transitioning while everyone is at war. It's so random and never properly explained...

It feels like this book is a lot of 'show, don't tell'. Grey is pining for Kier or sore from battle or cold but I don't FEEL any of it. Like, it's just being documented or something :/

OK, I kind of guessed Grey's identity from the first mention of the missing heir and by page 66 it seems obvious... Is it meant to be a secret or is V. L. Bovalino's writing as subtle as a brick to the face?
