A Suitable Bodyguard

I was so excited to see that R Cooper had a book set in the same universe as A Suitable Consort, but this novel wasn't as good. A large proportion of the book was devoted to mutual obliviousness of each others' feelings, and it wasn't until the end that the main characters actually got together, which made the beginning a bit boring. The world building could do some work as well, maybe more introductions to the different noble families. The climax felt like it occurred way too late and ended way too quickly.

The plot was generally okay and I did love the tender moments between Zelli and Tahlen. The fae part of the book was interesting and it gave insight to the fae's favor for Arden.
