This book was exactly what I needed right now- I’ve been really stressed and busy lately,  so a lighter novel full of adventure and sword fighting was perfect at this time. I love Joan as a main character, and her progression with Ogun throughout the book is fascinating. I do hope there’s a little more complexity within the romances in book 2, but at the same time I liked that it was there yet didn’t overshadow everything. And monstrous fae was such a breath of fresh air from the more common kind of fae in romantasy. That cliffhanger at the end was a bit worrying, though. I can’t wait to read book 2!
