Know this is a first in a series which go very different directions than you’d expect. Don’t read the third book’s preview chapter, as I think it has a spoiler In it. This book has inspired me in ways I didn’t think of.

I'm surprised how much I liked this. This was a fast pace book for sure but it didn't feel rushed. I loved the dialogue and character growth. I love how the MC openly navigates being a woman in her world and holding on to what matters to her and the love interest actually respects that completely. It's just not something I see a lot in fantasy, especially not with romance involved too.
