A runaway princess goes on a wild adventure with a succubus-satyr to find her missing magic. There's a solid dynamic between the grumpy, chaotic Rei and the sweet, sunny Amora, and a good progression from strangers to friends to lovers. Their opposite personalities make for great banter, and their growing understanding and developing feelings are well portrayed.
Their adventures are chaotic and entertaining, and there's personal growth alongside relationship growth. They find purpose and belonging with each other, and the mutual support and acceptance is lovely to see. But the writing is inconsistent (stronger editing would be good), and the pacing is erratic in some spots. It's a still a good cozy fantasy, and the MCs and side characters are very likeable.
