Rounding down to a 3.5, but leaning towards 4

Pleasantly surprised at this book! I had a few qualms, like the angst that felt like it was put there for the sake of just having angst in the novel, it literally served no purpose. Also, the whole free fellows thing was so dumb. Really? Keeping an oath yall made when you were 9. Super unrealistic and I can't believe they didn't forget about it. Lol I made promises when I was nine that I forgot about an hour after I promised it. So that was a big annoying part of it. But I actually liked the pacing of the book. I thought it would be a short intro where they got married, and he left, and then the rest of the book was him returning home, wooing her, as the blurb stated. This was inaccurate. It was steadily paced, starting from when they met, married, when he left and exchanged letters with her, their lives then, and then when he came back. Overall, I'd like to read the next book! Looking forward to it, and hope I like it even better than this one.
