What took the book down from four to three stars for me was the romance subplot.
To my annoyance, the narrative makes this forced marriage and deadly conflict into fodder for romance. Cat frequently reflects on how handsome and well-dressed Andevai is; I do not see how this could possibly compensate for his shitty behaviour. I assumed that this romance would be drawn out in subsequent books in the series to give him time to build some trust, but was wrong. At the end Cat thinks they may never meet again (which seems far-fetched given they are still married) so kisses him. Then he makes the astonishing admission that he fell in love with her at first sight, 'as if I were seeing the other half of my soul'. Why act like a complete arsehole and try to kill her then, my guy? Even if you have to kidnap and force-marry a woman, you could at least tell her what's happening then avoid murdering her! I am not morally opposed to enemies-to-lovers or forced-marriage-to-lovers plots, but did not find this one at all convincing. Andevai just isn't likeable.
