Just on the borders of the kind of books I usually read, this chill, cozy romantasy was thoroughly enjoyable and entirely charming. Lovable characters and a few genuinely laugh out loud moments, I'll likely return to the series in the future, when I need a palate cleanser from something darker.
I stayed up all night to finish this because I couldn’t put it down. I’d never read a T. Kingfisher book so I wasn’t expecting so much romance and fluff, but I wasn’t displeased with it. The writing was good—it me got completely hooked—but there were quite a lot of errors that the editor somehow didn’t catch? It made it feel a tiny bit less professional.
I was really disappointed with how the mystery was concluded though. It felt like the book was ramping up to something really climactic, only for it to be like, “Actually, turns out it was a totally different thing that was completely unrelated, oops!” at the last minute.
