Cute story and characters, interesting world, but I wish the plot was more developed—some things seemed very predictable. But very enjoyable all-in-all.

"The Necromancer's Light" was precisely my jam. I loved everything about this little gem of a fantasy book, and then some.
GAH, I'm so glad I gave Tavia Lark a chance! I feel like I hit jackpot with her: I have so many more books of hers to devour now.
I absolutely adored the premise of this story, and the world-building was absolutely majestic: simple, but rich and interesting, so easy to follow and understand and picture.
I also completely adored the story Tavia Lark manages to weave: I managed to devour this book so quickly it actually gave me whiplash. The plot is packed with all the usual romance tropes that I'm a goner for, plus a few new ones I didn't know I desperately needed: tons of hurt/comfort, sunshine X grumpy, touch starved MC X human furnace MC, and close proximity and huddling for warmth (both because of plot reasons!) at its absolute finest.
I also adored all the characters: the leads were utterly fantastic, both of them flawed but lovable. Arthur was literally golden retriever energy incarnate: he was so deliciously nice, and funny and charming and protective. His surprisingly possessive side was a very, very nice bonus.
And Shae was my favourite. Prickly, damaged, in desperate need of care and affection: characters like him are my weakness. I'm so happy he managed to get the HEA he absolutely deserves. Their romance was one of my favourite things in this story: ridiculously sweet, with a smidge of steam, and respectful and, just, plain lovely. I adored them.
I'm a both curious and terrified of starting the next book: I hope it's as good as this one.
