This is a different type of romantasy than I’m use to. I would say it should be marketed more fantasy than romance. While there is romance, I do feel that the plot takes center stage. The romance is just an extra tidbit, that does become more serious as the book progresses. Even with the progression in the romance, it isn’t the typical romantasy most readers will be expecting. Which is why I suggest stressing the fantasy side over the romance. This is not a bad thing! I just feel the reviews will reflect the creativity, and originality the author put into the story more going in knowing it’s not your every day romantasy. It is a good book, the story is very cool, and the complex world building is a delight.
This is a fun fantasy romance. The romance in this book is more slower building, reserved, and hesitant to begin with. While the book is fairly clean for the most part please be aware it is an adult fantasy romance, and will contain adult themes, situations, intimacy, suggestions, and language. The book moves at a steady pace following Liris as she leaves what she’s known her entire life behind to stop what she believes is wrong. She meets Vhannor along the way where work together to stop a great evil. Liris has a strong sense of right, and wrong. She is hard working, and a quick learner. Vhannor has some past experiences that influence his current decisions, he overall just wants the best for those he protects. The world is high fantasy with realms, portals, demons, magic, multiple languages, and so much more. It is the perfect read for any high fantasy lovers.
