One of the better fantasy novels I’ve read outside the sjm universe in a while. I enjoyed the world building and characters and plot. It was starting to feel a little redundant with the steamy scenes in the third section of the book without any real furthering of the plot and sometimes I just wanted them to get to the point. Some of the scenes/characters definitely felt acotar-coded in both a good and bad way. It took me a while to get through this one even tho I overall enjoyed it but I never really reached that hooking point where I couldn’t put the book down so even tho every time I picked it up I could read for a couple hours at a time, I could go weeks without picking it up again (partly cuz of my own busy schedule tho). Overall, I think I will follow along with this as it becomes a series but otherwise I was satisfied with it being a one and done for me.

I enjoyed this. It took me a few days to get through because it's been a busy stretch, but it was always something to look forward to. The elements themselves are fairly standard romantasy but well executed and the story and characters developed well across the book
