Wed By Proxy by Alice Coldbreath
adventurous
emotional
medium-paced
4.0
The premise of this book was deliciously moronic.
Whatever the opposite of secret identity trope is, this was that 😆
The premise: These two dumb-dumbs were wed by proxy, had never seen each other. She travelled to him, he thought it must be some elaborate plot when she said "I'm your wife," they fell in love but he was
panicking because he still thought she wasn't his wife? But she was his wife? It was a whole thing.
I love these fictional Medieval settings. Bonkers plots and all the brocade a girl could ask for, without any of that pesky 'my brain getting picky about real Medieval history. Bonus points for witches, cloistered maidens, knights, and peace treaties between kingdoms.
Our heroine's innocence did make me cringe somewhat. And there was a side plot that meandered a bit. But still, a really fun book that got me out of a big reading slump.
