Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis
4.0
Wooing the Witch Queen is my first Burgis novel. I didn’t know what to expect, and I had fun with it! This book would be great for romantasy readers who like romance more than fantasy.
There is not a lot of world-building in this one book. I didn’t expect it since it’s more of a romance. Although there are a lot of different magical creatures and elements, I could have used a little more information. Regardless, it didn’t hinder my experience too much! As I said before, it was about the romance and not the fantasy world. The fact that most of this happens in a library is pretty awesome! I enjoyed how the romance was sweet and slow. They didn’t rush into anything and took time to get to know each other. All to say that it’s not an insta-love situation.
I noticed that this was a series, and we met the women that I think will be the future leads. I’m not sure how I feel about it because some of them didn’t leave the best impression in this book!! On the other hand, there are several supporting characters that I liked! The creatures were also a great addition to the book!
I flew through this book! The author did a great job keeping the pace constant without making me feel rushed. Of course, there are many things that were predictable, but it didn’t bug me too much. It seems there is a lot of that with romances these days.
Overall, I enjoyed my time with these characters. I thought it was the perfect palate cleanser between heavier reads. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
Thank you, Bramble and Netgalley, for providing an e-arc! All thoughts and opinions are my own!
