🥰 Friends to Lovers

🔮 Fantasy Rom-Com

🧐 Oblivious Mutual Pining 

I’m pretty sure Arek and Matt are the definition of oblivious friends to lovers, throw in some slow burn mutual pining and it’s them. 

I really enjoyed this book, the world-building and setting was written really well.  It almost gave off a contemporary vibe in a fantasy world.  Yes, there was magic and a king but it was easy and fun to read.  These are the kind of fantasy books I want to read more of.

I loved the vibes of this book, the friendships, the chaotic nature of some of the characters, the romance, and the humor.   It was so lovely.

This reads basically like the aftermath of a DnD campaign. It's cute and funny. Pretty cozy, too. However, the miscommunication trope was a little bit much for me.

Having such high stakes for such young characters made me.. uncomfortable. I wish there had been a loophole in the enchantment rather than simply straightforwardly fulfilling it.

Aside from that it was a perfectly lovely story. The slow burn was torturous, the writing was beautifully flippant, the worldbuilding was complex enough to be fun without overshadowing the romance. I loved the conceit of starting after the adventure, but I came to love the characters so much that now I want a prequel.
