Garden of Seif: Chronicles of an Assassin

Overall, Garden of Seif: Chronicles of an Assassin is a solid fantasy VN with darker undertones intended for those who don’t mind exciting angles on the “enemies to lovers” trope. It’s a visual feast for the eyes, though the slight narrative imbalance between the two character routes and lack of a story map can be hindrances. I enjoyed the solid worldbuilding and realistically flawed characters enough that I’m glad I picked this title up following Curse of Gravehollow Peaks. Iris’ quest in Garden of Seif is intriguing, with plenty of exciting twists and turns for VN fans.
