romantasy_introvert 's review for:

A Tale of Mirth and Magic by Kristen Vale
3.0
funny lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No

The good: the rep in this book! Both FMC and MMC are bisexual and the FMC is plus size. It was a quick read with some humor, making it a good palate cleanser. I loved our MMC Barra - such a sweet baby angel!

The bad: this book was 10% plot, 50% sex, and 40% nothing happening. I’m someone who needs a good plot to keep me invested and this book really didn’t have that. I was also put off by some of the wording in the book - it feels weird to have a fantasy world (not modern/urban) and have the FMC refer to baddies.

If you’re looking for a spicy cozy romantasy palate cleanser with an MMC who’s got it down bad for the FMC, maybe give this one a try.

Thank you to Forever and Hachette Audio for an ARC & ALC in exchange for my honest review!
