Thank you to @macmillan.audio #MacAudio2024 and @stephanieburgisinwales for the #gifted audiobook. 

This cozy read serves as a captivating introduction to the series, Queens of Villainy. The intricate world of the three Queens forming an alliance to protect their realms truly draws you in. I particularly enjoyed the slow-burn relationship between Queen Saskia and her librarian, Fabian, who is an archduke in disguise. The world-building is excellent, allowing readers to easily grasp the setting. The characters are delightful and provide plenty of humor throughout the story. Plus, the ending sets the stage perfectly for book two, and I can't wait to dive into the next installment. 

The narrator did an outstanding job bringing these characters to life, using distinct voices that added depth to the experience. 

If you enjoy a cozy romantasy filled with memorable characters, I highly recommend this book. Mark your calendars for its release on February 18, 2025!
