This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. 

I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it I guess. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them.

Good story and I would recommend!
