4.0

I love a fantasy romance and this is a series I will hopefully be adding to my favourites. This is the first book and does a great job in building the world and setting the scene for future books. 

I really liked our female main character - she’s quietly brave and one of the strongest characters I have read. She’ll do anything for her family, no matter the risk to herself. 

The MMC is broody and reserved. We learn a lot about him as the plot develops and he becomes a much more likeable character. 

There’s plenty of twists and turns and some great side characters who I suspect will be playing a bigger role in the rest of the series. 

This was a great read and I will definitely be picking up the sequel in April 2024.
