This should have been fun. Alien or robot or medieval knight in the modern world frequently results in hijinks and misunderstandings... I really don't know what went wrong exactly. The ingredients were all here; they just didn't cook.
This should have been like that movie with Amy Adams but gender-swapped. That actually did work. You think it's cute in a cartoon when a princess talks to rodents, until you think about how it would be if she just summoned rats all over your apartment. It's awesome.
Maybe the author just didn't have enough plot figured out before starting, I guess. It was like, main conflict: statue comes to life.... solution:...and here he is... We definitely needed more secondary conflicts, I guess, for the plot to work. I feel like the heroine and the heroine's friend just went with this entirely too quickly. A belief in crystals, I don't think, would make a person believe that a statue turns into a man without visual proof. But I'm not worried about being realistic here lol. I'm talking about the complete lack of narrative tension.
Sir whatever also wasn't very likeable imo. Kind of a weird, arrogant perv, actually?

📚 This was a cute story! It was a little over the top with some of the stuff that happens later on but overall it was a good read/listen.
🧠 I do wish they'd gotten into the religion of it all a bit--MMC seemed to think the church was all knowing/the ultimate authority, and that is never challenged. Mainly because he barely brings it up out loud, but it shows up a lot in his inner monologue. But I get why an author wouldn't want to open that can of worms in a mass market book.
🎧 This was dual POV (3rd person) but only one narrator (female). The performance was well done and she really brought out the humor in the words without coming off as goofy.
🌶️ 3/5 for a couple explicit encounters, not particularly noteworthy.
🏳️🌈✊ Both the MCs are white and seemingly straight. The supporting cast includes a gay man and a few POC. The MMC is from the 1400s but he is surprisingly tolerant when it comes to like, diversity and sexuality. He still has a lot of weird old fashioned ideas, but none of them are intolerant or bigoted.
