I have a low tolerance for certain romance genre tropes, and this book just went one-two-three strikes with me.  The hapless and naive female lead was one (I knew about that one going in, but was hoping after the introductory scenes that she'd end up being more practical.)  

Two was her sneaking away from her guide to go shopping (for supplies, but still) in the middle of a city she knew zero about, and the author just...let her get away with wandering around a bad neighborhood in an increasingly implausible manner that I'm sure was supposed to make the character seem charming and cutesy and instead I just felt she was dumb as a rock.  

Three was the introduction of the There's Only One Horse situation, which added Dumb as a Rock to the MALE lead as well, since he was the one who knew what he was doing and didn't speak up.  They are using her money to buy two horses, and male lead doesn't....think through the implication of them having to SHARE A HORSE?  Why not buy two?  Or redistribute the supplies so that she can ride the supply horse?

In other words, this is a book about two people with Plot Armor who are constantly creating problems for themselves and then complaining about it.  No amount of cross-species love could hold me.

Even though i just started getting in Critical Role, I absolutely loved this book. It’s the perfect romanctasy book for anyone to enjoy. I absolutely loved the characters, the setting, the writing. I have nothing negative to say. Oskar and Guinevere are such fun and rounded characters. One of my favorite reads this year!
