Also, I love a good story romantic subplot with loads of yearning. And I’m truly living for this kingdom being run by the fruitiest little twink bard to ever live.

This was a lovely read. Very enjoyable. The pacing was just right and the characters were lovely. No notes.

For example:
Lance and Mallet - fantastic characters. I did find their arc a little dissatisfying, given that there was an opportunity for a training montage that ultimately didn’t even come up again.
The ambassador - this could have been touched on more vibrantly in the second half of the story,
Alec and Lester - I was never convinced about Bailen’s love for either of these characters. I think I was meant to see Alec as a brother who was jealous of Bailen’s promotion but ultimately On His Side, but
In a word: underwhelming.
