Wren is an unapologetic syrem whether captured by a war lord or her deranged mother. She‘s powerful, knows it, yet will not make herself smaller for the men. Not even an option. The romantic stuff felt a little off and too quick. Yes, roots grew. Yet the flower bloomed too quick for me. Felt it could have been fleshed out a bit more for all the world building could add. Glad to hear this is a series.
