Where did this book come from? Why is no one talking about it? And when does the next one come out?
This book is better then it has any right to be. It is everything a good romantasy should be and I can’t wait to see how the world expands in the next one (there better be a next one). Is this anything ground breaking or original? No, but it does everything in the genre right. You want a tough Scotsman rescuing a Princess, check. Devious possible secondary love interest, check. Oh and the set up for the enemies to lovers is, masterclass. Do you with the blonde love interest wasn’t such a self righteous little bitch, I give you Cullum. Do you want a shadow daddy who is actually clever and devious and truely morally gray, I give Blake. Evil King, we got two of them. Legitimately don’t know who she’ll choose, or if she‘ll choose, and I’ve never been more excited about it. And Rory, is stronger the she initially appears and her character development from passive princess to confident woman is well done. My only qualm is this is incredibly predictable if you’ve read enough fantasy but I don’t think that’s a bad thing, troupes exist for a reason and if it works it works.
Warning for those thinking this is a stand alone, it does end on a bit of a cliff hanger; but more of a set up to the main conflict, then omg it can’t end there type.
🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5 Open doors but not overly explicit or plentiful. Easy to skip if you don’t like spice but pretty well done for those that do.
