angisnowflake's review against another edition
5.0
This book was so cute. I love how Lyuc and Yan are together and I like their story thought there are so many loose ends and a lot I would still have liked to know about. This could have been much longer.
I know there is a second book to this one but it has different main characters so I don’t assume that it will do anything for this story.
This was still a great read.
[EDIT]
I am changing this rating to 5 stars because after reading this book I still think about it a lot and am very happy that I read it.
I love the story and characters and while this is not perfect, I can’t deny I dearly love it.

It is one of those situations were it's me not the book. I can't get over how a young adult would so much want to get with an oooooold man - that's kiiiiinda gross (I know he is over 1000 years and it's different blah blah blah, but IDC).~
I quite liked some aspects but I can't get over the romance.

I have this a try because I saw Sherry had liked it and then I couldn't stop, so that's good. Plotwise, it reads more than a prologue than a complete story, but I loved the characters and the glimpses of the world we got.

Unfortunately, I didn’t feel any chemistry between the MCs.
Yan couldn’t help but think mostly of comforts and other perks that came with Lyuc’s patronage. It is totally understandable considering his position in life, but downplayed his feelings for the wizard.
Lyuc clearly wanted to help the young man out and comfort and protect him from the bullies and poverty. Yet while the protective streak was no small thing, it did not amount, in my opinion, to the big L word.
Bryn, the wizard’s sidekick from a different dimension, is my favorite character :)
For some reason the book seemed longer than the actual page count. There were few lulls, that tended to drag, but overall, not a bad read.
3 stars.

Great start to a new series
4 solid ⭐️
Enjoyable start to a new series
I loved Yan as a character. He was so bright and enthusiastic. He didn’t expect anyone to do anything for him and was prepared to work for what he needed. I was glad Lyuc stepped in and gave him a taste of a life where names didn’t matter. Also the relationship between Lyuc and Bryn was well done, friends and allies working together.
I enjoyed the world created by this author and can’t wait to read more from it and see just where the author plans to take us.
