This was all right. The world building was interesting. The set-up was long. Our two mains don’t meet until 25% and then the alternating POV was more irritating than entertaining. I wouldn’t say it ends on a cliffhanger, but the story isn’t finished.

77p was too much for this book

There was a lot of things that made no sense but the main ones that annoyed me were:
- The heroine is meant to be a badass, but aside from one fight at the start, she is pretty weak and useless throughout
- The hero is a magic user in hiding... but then immediately uses magic in front of her?
- They would mention being wary of bandits/demons/people at ruins but proceed to be extremely loud constantly
- Hero was burning hot to the touch yet a horse was okay with him on its back for days
- The dialogue (internal and spoken)

I think I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if it was from one POV (probably heroines) and we discovered things as we went

This book deserves so much more attention. The leads are confident, interesting, and mature. The spice is there, but it isn't what the story revolves around. I ate this up and left no crumbs. I immediately dove into book 2!

First 20% of the book was bad I can’t lie like the fmc says she’s different from other girls because she’s a fighter and doesn’t just stay in her house all day making bread and stuff like girl be fr stfu your not better than someone just because you can use a sword. Opening scene for the mmc was him with a woman he paid for sex and then he gets upset when she cuts off their routine. Like huhhh idk about all that.

The chemistry between Lyria and Vethe was fantastic. The story was fast-paced and engaging. I absolutely loved Lyria and Vethe, the banter and their personalities were great. Some of the one-liners of Vethe had me rollin'. Also, I absolutely love the name Vethe. Theo the donkey was the real MVP of this book.
