4.0

This was a light, heartwarming read with a lot of emotional reflection and growth from the characters. Exploring what happens to the hero's party AFTER the quest is over is always one of my favorite storylines to explore and this was a very cozy, happy-ending-energy read while still packing in plenty of emotional depth. The world building was a bit weak but at the end of the day, I thought of this as a D&D romcom beach read: fluffy, comforting, and engaging without anything too stressful to get bogged down in. This could have been paced a bit faster in the first half but I think in order for the character's emotional growth to be believable, the reader really needs to sit with their grief and ingrained issues before the changes we see in them in part 2.

Read if you like: second chance romances, adult characters with alllllll their baggage, romcoms, WLW romance, Dungeons & Dragons, a little bit of spice

Thank you to Avon and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
