4.5/5 stars (rounded up). This book was truly delightful. I smiled a lot while listening to the audio and would love a lexicon of all the words that the main character uses. I was hoping for a final steamy scene between the main couple and was a bit sad not to get it, but maybe there will be a sequel?

It was very interesting at the beginning and then suddenly got unbearably boring. I'm going to have to come back to this one.

I just didn't like the style of writing.

The language definitely took some getting used to - I wanna say it was Scottish? - but ultimately created a more immersive experience in a fantasy world. I know Scotland actually exists, but it’s not my average day so it felt more special to me (lol).
I loved the sprinkling of romance and “will they, won’t they” that kept me intrigued and eager to see the romance reach its peak. That’s the only thing that knocked down the experience; I feel it ended too abruptly and never gave the ultimate catharsis that I kept racing to get to.
Was it still cute? Absolutely. I just wish there was more of a romantic reward for riding the push and pull it took to get there.

I really loved this, and I’m so mad that it took me so long to read! It’s charm and intrigue and magic.

I can’t wait to pick up Unnatural Magic in the not too distant future.
