I really enjoyed this book, it was well written with a compelling storyline and characters that were well developed and that I really liked. I like the romance element in the book which was more slow burn than I wanted but thats just because I am impatient and wanted it all straight away because I was so invested.
A really good read.

This book reminded me a lot of Mercedes Lackey writing style. The author is extremely likeable and starts off with a lot of fun. This appears to be an enemies to lovers format? In an alternative timeline humanity is split in two. Normal humans and magicans in space. This book covers one space empire. The book ends on a cliffhanger which frankly while popular today, is something personally dislike. It's unfortunate as otherwise an enjoyable evening read. Hopefully the next installment will pick up.

It’s amazing what a difference a well crafted book makes to a good plot. You just cannot put it down! Love the characters both the main ones and the lesser ones who have all been drawn with care and perception making them believable.
