While reading I felt amused and surprised at how kind of good the plot and story are put together. Cheesy? Yes, but such a delightful surprise and enjoyable.
Would I keep/buy? Yes.
Not a lot of time has passed since finishing but I will say it was the perfect nice and easy going read I was looking for. It was right up my alley and I'm still just truly shocked by how much I liked it, yes it had all the fantasy adventure kind of romance cliches but I feel like it was done in a way where you kind of expected it and like it didn't take itself too seriously. And this I've never had a book that made me laugh out loud so much.

A hilarious subversion of the classic villain and damsel dynamic. Cinnamon is just a simple spice farmer when she happens across a demon in the woods after a heavy night of drinking, but the adventure that she embarks on isn't exactly what she's heard in the stories (or any of us, for that matter!) The book rockets through to the climactic ending, and a happily ever after of an unexpected kind. A delightful read and definitely an author to watch!
