A review by hwesta
Beguilement by Lois McMaster Bujold

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

Definitely a fantasy romance - I really enjoyed both the worldbuilding (malices! Groundsense! Lakewalkers vs farmers!) and the romance.

Graphic: Miscarriage, Violence, and Pregnancy

Moderate: Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Blood, Kidnapping, Grief, and Injury/Injury detail

Large age gap in main romance - she's 18, he's 54 - but enthusiastically consensual on both sides.
