This is one of those books where I had to rethink my rating when I finally pulled up this page to write my review. I sat here staring at the screen, trying to remember what the book was even about. I remember enjoying it primarily for the vibes, but considering the fact that I listened to the entire audiobook in the course of a day, you'd think I would be able to recall much more about the plot and characters.

So I bumped it down from 4 stars to 3. Because I do remember that I liked it. But clearly, I didn't love it enough to rave about it right now. I can't even pull the character names from my memory, for some reason.

I will say that I enjoyed this more than Ashley's contemporary romance. I think fantasy is her sweet spot! It was whimsical, a little dark, with a touch of romance, and fun lore. 

Maybe I'll bring this back to read it again at some point so I can write a better review than this one. Oof. I'm slightly embarrassed.
