This was a cozy fantasy romance that that was perfectly spicy! I loved watching Barra and Elikki grow as people while falling in love with each other. I might not be a half-giant but I could really relate to Barra's struggles of taking up space and feeling like he needed to always be mindful of others to make them comfortable. If you are in the mood for some romantasy without all the world building or the book being 600 pages this is the perfect book!
