Started off slow, and I had to force myself to keep reading. Halfway through, I'm starting to pick up the story, and by the end, I definitely am interested in the second book.

This was a fun read with fae, halflings, assassins, human and fae politics, etc.
Keera is an alcoholic FMC due to her being troubled with killing innocent people. She does inflict self harm so watch your TWs.
That cliffhanger though!

Romantasy as a genre on the whole is fraught with substanceless, vapid books that put the story on the back burner. This is not the case. This one has a plot. The characters are complex and have various motivations and make mistakes. I’m actually going to read the series bc I want to see where the plot goes. The romance parts did take me out of the story sometimes bc they were cheesy. And the actual one sex scene was lame as hell. Yawn boring hetero stuff. But overall, a good fantasy book.
Reread: 4.5 stars
I'm so glad I decided to reread this in preparation of A Shadow Crown, because I forgot more information than I realised. This book was still great upon rereading!
