Your mention of the importance of physical intimacy in relationships adds another layer of complexity to the narrative. It's intriguing how the characters' experiences mirror real-life complexities.

Even at an age when my mom read me bedtime stories, I started getting very upset till I finally told her “no more!” When I was about 2. She was very taken aback and asked why when I always loved it so much, I said “Because!, That’s NOT how people really act and everyone doesn’t always get to be happy at the end! These stories are dumb!” So we started on LOTR lol.
The point of this is, even though I love sci-fi/fantasy among other genres, if the characters aren’t realistic with their emotions for the situations it’s not very good writing. Romance, much less love, isn’t easy, clean or summed up in a nice neat story. It’s messy, it takes all kinds of forms, and it often doesn’t work out.
Excellent review, the sample didn’t interest me much, but this actually makes me want to give it a read.
