***Spoilers***


I wasn’t blown away, but I didn’t dislike it. It just seemed a bit blah. The FMC was a little dense at times when by now she should expect shenanigans from the maniacal tyrant holding her hostage, yet she seems so surprised he lied about her lineage. Like, really? Mass murderer, but you are shocked he’s a liar too?

Delightfully Cozy

This was a delightful cozy fantasy romance with just enough tension and spice. It’s a bit more tension and high stakes filled than most cozy fantasies but still felt so warm.

This was a very cozy, simple and straightforward Romantasy. The stakes were very low, the ending was happy, and the world building existed but was told to you straight out instead of you having to parse through it.

It was maybe a bit too simple, the actions of the characters were never subtle and plot points were typically explained and reiterated multiple times. Characters thoughts and feelings were also spelled out for you.

That being said, it was a perfectly fine book if you are truly looking for something so cozy you can completely turn your brain off while reading. I’ll probably read the second.

“With you, I would dance until the world ends.”

This book was such a fun and cozy time! I did find that I had to remind myself that this book was a cozy fantasy because there were some pretty high-stakes moments.
Rivelin and Daella are so good together, and they really do bring out the best in each other. ❤️❤️❤️
