Significantly heavier in topic than the summary blurb suggests, with a bit more magic involved than expected. A good read with good characters.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and I found listening to the audiobook really enjoyable Christian Coulson who was the narrator of this book was really good, I think their characterisation of Monty really made the book even more enjoyable.  This is a great adventure book with a lovely friends to lovers romance story as well, i also think the character development of monty also made the romance all the better and earned for him as a character.
