DNF. for my tastes, the romance feels heavy handed, unearned, and the constant reminders more distracting than enticing, to the point that i found myself closing the book every-time a frustratingly jarring romance moment occurred. which is a shame because i enjoyed the prose, worldbuilding, and characters, especially arty!

the three stars are for the prose. very fun and tasty in several places, but something about the romance etc made my eyes glaze over. couldn’t get hooked no matter how hard i tried.
