Those aesthetics are gorgeous! I've had book 1 of this in my shelf for a while now, but I was afraid that this will be one of those YA fantasy with insta lurve and all the romantic tropes, but damn I love me some slow burning romance. The MC also seems sensible and not some lovestruck horndog, so thank you for this. I needed the push to finally start The Girl of Fire and Thorns.

I am a non-scientist myself, so I will follow you and read the book before I watch the movie. :)
