Veronika I would say that there is a very good, complex psychological romance for the main character. Less for secondary characters, in my opinion. I would also recommend the next book in the series, which is also very good - and has a good deal of great romance involving the main character.
Dan Gunderson There isn't much *explicit* romantic activity, I think it's fair to say that. That stuff largely goes on "off-screen," so to speak. But romance is actually a pretty significant component of the story itself. Arranged marriages in loveless relationships, unrequited love, diplomatic marriage, extramarital exploits -- all of those things play a part in the plot. And naturally, there's a significant potential romance for the main character, that holds you in anticipation until the end of the book.
Jsmh A very little between secondary characters. A tiny amount for the main character.
