“The endless banter between all of the characters will have you laughing at all times”
I have to say it. I have mixed feelings regarding this book. I am not saying that I hate it. I truly did enjoy reading this book. Literally, I read it in one sitting until the bitter end. It’s just a few things that I am conflicted with.
Before you go any further, be warned that it may contain some spoilers. Not a long, just a tiny bit of it.
Let me say it. The endless slow burn had me frustrated forever. Literally, the endless back and forth between the two characters annoyed me endlessly. Goodness! Literally, the slow burn didn’t work for this romantasy. The characters may have started off as enemies in the beginning, but it only lasted a few chapters. You could already tell that the male love interest was interested in her. Like, how is the female main character that clueless? Make it make sense.
Besides the slow burn, the worldbuilding was slow-paced. I could not deal with it when the ride back to the male love interest's homeland took about 75% of the book, and the female main character still didn’t know who she was. Like, what?!? It had me so frustrated that it took this long. I had to say it.
Now that I said my rant, let’s talk about why you should give it a chance. Because I truly did enjoy reading this book besides its frustrating slow burn and world-building pace. The endless banter between all of the characters will have you laughing at all times. I literally laughed so many times. It made the conversation enjoyable to read. I also love the found family trope. It’s the best trope to read in any fantasy or romance books. You just feel for all of the characters. And I love it that they included the female main character as well.
