This was so much fun! I wasn’t sure what to expect going in and only read it because it was recommended to me, but I’m very glad I did. A great mix of historical fantasy and queer romance. The historical atmosphere and settings were great, the magic was very interesting (hoping to learn more about it in the sequel), and the romance was absolutely lovely (a bit spicier than I was expecting but well described and I was rooting for them to get together).
Listened to this on audio and I think it was well done, although I wasn’t the biggest fan of the narrator’s voices for some of female characters.
