Honestly, not a bad romantasy read. Pretty straightforward and checks all the boxes. Reapersplain was my favourite random word.
I ended up finding quite a few lines funny and I enjoyed Ashen's rizz. My only major complaint is how quickly the characters get together and are confessing their undying love for eachother, but I think I have a strong preference for slow burns. The ending made me a little confused since our fmc seems to be doubting her man with very little context after all the dramatics. I know a naked lady just appeared and hugged him, but he's making eye contact with Lu and seemed upset the whole scene so there's probably something more going on. Lu losing her voice is also probably good, I miss the journal. She was too nice and lovey after they got together
