This book/novella was entertaining and I thoroughly enjoyed the humor throughout it. It was fast-paced and other than a handful of grammatical errors (that definitely took me out of it for a moment) I think it was easy to read and follow along.
Something that really stood out to me in this book was the author's handling of grief. I thought the portrayal of how it affects someone, especially longterm, and the way we handle grief and how it can mold/evolve was done really well.
I think Hazel is a great FMC. I really liked her-she was kind and I loved that she held her own.
"King or not, you will respect me in my home."
I would've killed to get her POV; I understand why we didn't due to the plot twist, but man I still would've liked it.
Barrett, oh sweet sweet Barrett, I have so many mixed feelings about him. He's freaking hilarious and there were moments I swooned, but then he'd go and do/say/think something and I'd want to tear my hair out. Anyhow, I digress; I did enjoy getting to see his journey through from the beginning to the end.
In my opinion, my biggest let-down was simply that the world-building is underdeveloped, and I think it would've really benefitted from maybe having just a little bit more to chew on. (It's a novella so I know that kinda limits it, but still.) I do think that there's so many side characters, that if the author had the desire to do so, they could set another book in this world as an interconnected standalone. In which case, you'd be able to hopefully see the world and politics develop more.
Overall, I think it's a great premise and although it might not be for everyone it sure was damn entertaining.
Sending a huge thank you to the author for the advanced reader copy!
