π Review π
π That time I got drunk and saved a demon
β 2.75/5
This is a funny, witty, fast paced romantasy book with a feisty FMC, paranormal romance and πΆοΈ monster/human scenes
"I had only two things on my mind; cheese and how to get home"
π Tropes:
βοΈ Quest
π« Forced proximity
π« Touch her and you'll π΅
β€οΈ He falls first
"Who wouldnβt want to go off on a grand adventure with a bunch of hot heroes also chosen by the goddess?β Me bit*hes. No, thank you"
π What I enjoyed:
βοΈ Badass FMC
β€οΈ POC protagonist
π Banter
π Snarky stream of consciousness
"Ma swore, pointing her wooden spatula like a blade. βChili! I mean, Cumin! I mean Cinnamon! Da*n, the middle child! Stop badgering the girl child!"
π I did not enjoyed
β‘οΈ Instalove
β‘οΈ Campy vibes, but doesn't go fully into camp territory, so it gets inconsistent
β‘οΈ Plotholes (multiple)
β‘οΈ Overpowered MMC
β‘οΈ The combo high fantasy setting/social media slang/incongruous morals
