This book is a cozy or rom-com fantasy.
It is cute, simple, tropy and funny(not in the "I'm crying laughing again" but in a "I'm almost constantly smiling and sometimes giggling").
+ slow-burn (sloowww)
+ sunshine x grumpy
(with the grump being kind of being similar to a puppy...all bark no bite which is one of the only ways to make a likable grumpy MC and not just let them behave like a douche)
+ a plottwist that was not that foreseeable as the reader gained information with the MCs during the story
(- very simple and understandable writing style...fitting for a lighthearted YA book but not my absolute favorite for an adult romantasy book)
- the climax and the biggest plottwist happening on the last 30 pages was...unfortunate...
- the auther was really careful when describing the lows making the highs less high and in turn not making the book that emotional (I don't think every book has has to be destroying emotionally but a little more variety of emotion could even in a lighthearted book add depth)
