Some slight spoilers ahead so if you are looking for a romance forward novel set in a fantasy world then I highly recommend it!
I absolutely adored this book. It completely reignited my old passion for reading I thought adulthood had stolen from me. It's so fun to read and I loved that, even though it is romance first, it doesn't rely on miscommunications or will they/won't they. The main characters are in love and that's that. They have such a healthy and fun to read relationship almost to the point that how healthy it is is another form of fantasy.
It was also fun to exist in a world where homophobia just didn't exist. As a trans woman I do appreciate stories that go in depth how much of a struggle it can be for LGBTQIA+ people to achieve a healthy relationship and carve out their place in this world; however, it was heartwarming that I could live with these people for a time where it just didn't exist. A world where the bad guy didn't have to be homophobic just because they are the bad guy.
All in all, it's a wonderful read. I was so excited to learn that a sequel is already out and that more are on there way!
