Review

I’m not 100% sold on the art style for this, but the clothing is all really beautiful and interesting. The story drew me right in and suddenly the volume was somehow over! Wait, how was it over so quickly?! Please tell me volume two is releasing soon, I need it now please!

I love the queen – what a great villain! And I can tell I’m a romance reader at heart because I immediately was like “Do I detect the faint whispers of romance between Nina and Azure?” How will that work if she’s pretending to be his sibling and is engaged to be married to a prince across the mountains!? I need the next volume, stat!!
