Carving Shadows into Gold by Brigid Kemmerer

I didn’t know anything about this book going in. I chose it on audible purely because Chase Brown was reading one of the characters, but let me tell you, it hooked me in!
We have three MCs: FMC Callyn, a baker who lives with her 12 year old sister. MMC Jax, Callyn’s bestie since childhood, and the local blacksmith. He lives with his drunken tyrant of a father. Then there’s MMC Tycho, the King’s courier.
It took me a good 20 chapters to realise that Tycho was not Callyn’s love interest, but Jax’s, so subtly is it done. Once the penny dropped though, I was here for it!!
Tycho’s and Jax’s romance was beautifully written. Sweet, tender, and delicate, it brought such joy to my cold, dead heart.
This is a story of intrigue, royal politics, complex relationships, and love. I loved it a lot, and now begins the wait for book 2!
