So much fun! As a fantasy reader, this is definitely more romance than I'm used to -- I'd call this fantasy/romance, pretty evenly blending the genres and emphases. I love the character development in this one: Elle is a compelling, nuanced protagonist that I'd definitely happily read another book about, and many supporting characters shine as well. This fantasy world feels fully developed and the pacing is consistent. There are some steamy scenes! I appreciate the diverse representation in multiple respects, the inclusion of an array of languages, and clear representation of safer sex practices and consent.
