Funny, tense, adventurous, and romantic, this enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance hits every button. The passion that the characters show for their goals and adventures (and for each other) shines through in the prose, and makes reading it a real joy. I devoured this book, knowing from the first chapters that I was hooked. The dual-POV is effective, the pacing is brilliant, especially where the love story is concerned. Though it is the second in a series, the story works well alone, and while enriched by the previous tale, doesn't require even a good memory of those events to be enjoyable. I am eagerly anticipating the third in the series.
