This was such a fun book! I enjoyed the plot, characters, and humor so much! The MCs had such good banter and chemistry that I fell in love with them quickly. The side characters were interesting and I really liked most of them! Sure the FMC‘s quips and quirks could get annoying at times but I really did like her character. The MMC’s narration was not what I expected going in but I ended up enjoying his chapters a lot. I did want more world building but this isn’t really that type of fantasy book in my opinion so it didn’t bother me much. I did not see the plot twist coming at all but loved how I could see the bread crumbs looking back at the story. 

I love that the MMC fell first and SO HARD for the FMC. I know it’ll be a slow burn still from here but I’m okay with that. A hard heart with a soft spot for one person is one of my favorite tropes, plus he’s a morally grey villain! What’s not to love?!

This is just a fun fantasy romp with romance brewing under the surface nice and slow. 
Excited to jump in to book 2!

What a silly ride! It was all the chaos of the series brought to life in book form! The ridiculous amount of tropes will satisfy the heart and make you squeal like Hannah herself! It’s got more darkness in it than you would think, but absolutely enjoyed it as a fan before the book!
