What a nice novel. It's not what I expected at first. When they said romance, it wasn't the mature type, and when they said smart MCs, it wasn't the complex and layered schemes and a serious world. But that's fine.

They were certainly witty, but done in a not in your face manner making the sharp moments less impactful, but lifting the overall quality of the novel.

The story was done well and enjoyable. And romantic too, just as romances do.
They weren't childish, but they were not mature. They weren't oblivious, but also weren't experienced. It's a story of a first love. The emotional storms in a situation when one still does not know how to control them, the deepening trust as they learn to depend on each other. The yearning that builds up along their interactions. And embarrassing moments that can't be avoided when one's reason gives way.
The romance was beautiful. It's not a surefire relationship plan. It's not a rollercoaster of feelings. It was simply pretty. Well, from the perspective of a completed read, at least.

The way Jude and Cordelia opened up to themselves and slowly took steps towards adulthood.

The way they could think rationally while keeping the bright atmosphere in a doomed world.

The way the story could still surprise us despite its casual tone.

The rich side characters. (I personally enjoyed Lucas a lot. Well, most of him)

It's not at the top of my list, as it was far from perfect, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it doesn't bring that foolish smile on my face when I think about it.
It should be a good ride for both fantasy fans and romance fans. I recommend giving it a try.
