This book was silly, but I had a surprisingly great time reading it. I didn’t think I’d enjoy a book about a woman falling in love with a man who’s a horse half the time, but damn, here we are. The set up was interesting and the political intrigue was neat. I enjoyed watching Bianca and Aric work through their misunderstandings and cultural differences. I liked seeing the allies they made along the way, and I appreciated that the main character had a chronic illness that  was crucial to the plot. I appreciated that the author intended to include someone that was like her in a fantasy world.
