Luisen and Carlton are an adorable couple. They both have pretty distinct personalities, understandable weaknesses, and strengths and while not my favorite, this novel is pretty high up on my western medieval bl list.As other reviews have mentioned, Carlton does seem like a bit of a jerk at the beginning but he gets through his character development successfully and I ended up liking the growth in both characters. There weren't any mind-blowing plot twists but a lot of adventure, journeying, and world-building which added to the story.As someone who started reading it for the romance, it was enjoyable, well-paced (no smut yet), and had its cute moments.So far, so good. Another thing to note is that there is a manhwa adaptation with pretty good art so there is that.
