There was something to be said about a woman with the confidence to unleash hell with a long sword.
Huge parts of this were so hilarious! I loved the premise and every appearence of Alexis the talking sword. Or rather, the dissing sword. :D The fantasy setting is so colorful, too, with all those different species and small, fun twists on familiar tropes. I expected a bit more feelings from the romance; as it was, it was like... insta-lust followed by insta-love, pretty much? If that's your thing, you're likely to admire it a lot, since objectively Ruby and Lukka have great chemistry and their scenes together are hot and well-written. So this is purely a matter of preference.
I enjoyed the author's writing style a lot and I'm excitd to pick up a longer work of hers soon!
