Creepy straight dude as an antagonist just doesn't do it for me. It's true to life, yes, but certainly isn't cozy

This book just wasn't my cup of tea which is disappointing. I found it a bit immature and overwritten in parts. Kianthe and Reyna's personalities are just too similar to tell them apart much.

Yeah, this was lovely. I was afraid the murderous tyrannical queen would harsh the cozy vibe, but it managed to play out in a way that didn't feel like a cheat but also didn't ruin the relaxing read. Very similar to the way Legends & Lattes balances legitimate threat without dousing the warmth of the developing domesticity. I liked Legends & Lattes just a bit better — probably because the humor worked so well for me — but this is a great addition to the cozy fantasy subgenre. And the relationship communication and caring here! 🤌 If you're looking for a cozy fantasy with a great lesbian couple that's totally hot for each other but has caring communication and mutual respect as their foundation, you've found it! (They're super into each other, but this is a no steam read — all closed door or implied.)
