I read this courtesy of the gracious author. Thank you! :)
A Solstice read for Yuletide.
I enjoyed this short romantic fantasy novel quite a lot. It was light, fluffy and fun, with nice - and kind! - characters and thoughtfully developed themes. There's nothing particularly groundbreaking about its treatment of gender, perhaps, with the partial role reversal, but the way the author weaved her ideas with the world and distributed information without info-dumping (but while giving all the useful knowledge at the right time) was particularly enjoyable.
I felt like it could have used some fleshing out, plot-wise, but the disability theme was, for me at least, nicely done. And the protagonist's family (brother and sister-in-law) were delightful to read about.
I look forward to the next volume!
