Betrothed to the Beast

The detailed setting really brought the story to life. I'm curious whether the author researched a particular era or if it was a blend of different times.

Their reasons for marrying felt complex and sometimes morally ambiguous, which made me question what I would do in their place.

The pacing felt just right, with enough world-building to support the romance without overshadowing it. I'm interested in how this balance was achieved.
