I liked this! To me, the romances were a bit rushed - but given that this is a romantasy, not fantasy with a side of romance, I’m okay with that. I love the magic system and lore and especially loved the obeah and their dialogue. I’m excited to see where the series goes and genuinely think this would be a great book for people newer to the fantasy genre. I jumped in the deep end with Priory of the Orange Tree and think reading something like Faebound first would have really helped me get to grips with the genre.
