intriguing 3.50

The world-building is exceptional, overshadowing the love story. The reviewer appreciates the intricate details but feels the romantic elements are less compelling.

This reviewer was really taken with the world-building in this anthology, calling it some of the best they've seen in the romance genre. The richly detailed setting drew them in, but they felt the love story took a backseat to the world itself. While they enjoyed the immersive experience, they wished the romantic elements had been given more prominence. It's a great read for those who love deep world-building, but might leave romance-focused readers wanting more. The reviewer's overall impression is that the strength of the story lies in its setting rather than its central relationship.
