For a book that is marketed as a romantasy the romance elements are rather small. Most of the time is spent with politics. I can definitely enjoy that, however, it got rather repetitive and didn’t give all that much after some time. I liked the characters though and I could enjoy myself.

This was a really cute queer romantasy read.

I thought it established character dynamics very well. Had well placed, non-info dump world building. The characters were interesting and felt unique. Relationships felt realistic. On top of all of the side characters were interesting and stood out. I really liked how this felt like an older story in some aspects too. Overall it was simple and fun.

However some aspects were lacking. I wish the plot had a bit more happening and the romance had a bit more time to grow. Some plot twist lacked some punch, but weren’t awful. It also had a bit of a problem with telling over showing. Aside from that my only major note is: Don’t use lamp oil as lubricant for the love of god.

It was a nice read and I recommend it to anyone that’s looking for a simple, fun story.

Gary Furlong's narration was wonderfully immersive. I thought the narrative took a little while to pick up, but the back half of the book was very engaging.
