This was an enjoyable and fast-paced read. It would be a great pick for readers who are new to fantasy and romantasy.
I thought it was good. It's not an exceptional read, but where it lacks in depth, it excels in being engaging for readers. The worldbuilding is simple, the FMC can be irritating, and the writing sometimes reads like YA / lacks maturity. However, this story is great for being easy to dive into and follow while also including some great characters and romantic tension.
The main character and healer Arwen is well-rounded, although - as mentioned - sometimes irritating. I love her passion for healing and her commitment to her family. I love the character Mari, even though she acts brashly at times. Her love of books and learning drew me in. Kane is also a great - and somewhat typical - morally grey MMC.
There were twists and turns that I wasn't anticipating, and I'm excited to see how the story develops in subsequent books.
