an enjoyable story
This was an enjoyable story for starting the new year. Between the unique magic described and the touching relationships among the main characters — I loved the combination of the sensitivity of the hero and the forthrightness of the heroine — this book is interesting and has just enough worldbuilding to hold attention. My reason for dropping a star is the way the tone of the book shifted multiple times — from casual and salt of the earth to formal and fantastic. It was a little jarring. But the uniqueness of the story and the sweetness of the romance made up for it, and I will probably end up reading the other books in the series, too.
