Thank you NetGalley and Wave Walker Press for this ARC copy!
The instant that I saw this cover I knew it was going to be a book that I wanted to read and after the synopsis I was completely sold. A story about stories, fantasy, unique magic system, realistic forced proximity sitationship. If you are looking for spicy this is not the book for you but if you want to smile and kick your feet and also hold your breath action and stress then you will definitely enjoy this book.
My only complain about this book, and why it is a 4 and not a 5 star read, is that it could have been 350-400 pages easily. The intricate and beautiful descriptions were wonderful in the beginning but over time it became cumbersome. It would go from slow, to complete chaos, and then suddenly we are just back on the road again learning bits and pieces about the characters at a time. If the pacing had been just a little smoother this definitely would have been a 5 star read for me.
I still highly recommend this book book, but just go into it knowing that it is a very long story, and you will travel from one end of the world to the other with many different stops and stories in between.
