This fit the bill for what I expect of a romantasy, but I think there are better options out there. The characters were a bit one note, and their relationships also felt a bit simplistic. It almost felt like YA in that the writing and plot were a little juvenile. Now I like YA fiction, and I wouldn’t say I didn’t like this. It just didn’t wow me. I also feel like the romantic tension aspect of the romantasy was missing and wasn’t a huge fan of how dependent the FMC was on the MMC. All these complaints aside, I really don’t think this was bad. I also don’t think it was good. It was firmly meh.
