Soo good!! Really enjoyed this read. I really liked the background/explanation for Shay's initial dislike of Dominic. Also just a cute concept for a romance.

This book was so cute. It had heartfelt and funny moments. I enjoyed how the two MCs were full adults - having lived and loved prior to the start of this story. The love story was also tied to real problems all adults face. Also, the communication and boundary setting - we love.

Not mentally in a space to read this one. 
It's really good - will be picking it back up

It's really good I'm just not at a place mentally to handle/appreciate the intricate political subplot.

This is the perfect pallet cleanser and my new comfort read. Only thing is I wish it was a little more gay. (Don't mean spice but just cute moments)

OH MY GOD. The ending. 
I am very ready for book 2. Overall, really enjoyed this read. The magic system is easy to follow and interesting. There were some really cool surprises sprinkled in as well. And this book truly lives up to the enemies to loves trope. We are very much in enemy territory right now and I'm here for it. 10/10 would recommend.

I found myself smiling all throughout this book. Also, the first line... hilarious. 
The spice was spicing and the banter was very fun.

Kingfisher has this amazing ability to create an entire world in a small amount of time. This book is short but dense with a really interesting fairytale retelling. 10/10 would recommend

The beginning of this story was done beautifully. The magic system was interesting - very earthy and strange in the best way possible. I loved all the characters. Agnes is an absolute gem and the dust wife is hilarious. 10/10 would recommend. The writing is lovely and the story is enthralling.

Very good. I normally make multiple journal entries when reading a book and didn't make a single one this time because I was so engrossed in the story. Barnes has the great way of leaving the tiniest little crumbs that slowly build into a castle and I'm here for it.
