I was blown away by how much I actually enjoyed this. Though short, you get a feel of a bigger world, and yet aren't left floundering in confusion by the mention of different kingdoms and races. The protagonist is fierce and prickly and yet sweetly longing underneath it all for the apprentice wizard he thinks is far above his station. It's just FUN.

If you like idiots in love with a side of fantasy and class difference you'll probably like this.
Couldn't stop reading.

This one was adorable! I am glad I read it; the ending dragged a tiny bit, but the rest of the story makes up for it.

I do prefer R. Cooper's contemporary tales the most, but this was still quite enjoyable. I really loved River, though I did find Gav a little flat in comparison. A really good amount of world building, especially considering how short this is.
I did notice a few editing issues - a sentence missing a word, an entire line of dialogue missing.

Good enjoyable afternoons read. I liked River with his prickly nature. Gav was a good match for him and River brought Gav out of his shell. The different customs created confusion between the characters as Gavin was more reserved in his flirting where River understood more obvious things. I’m not sure how River didn’t know who Gavin was when everyone else did, but it was good to see them get past it, I understood River’s reservations. I loved the fire cats and how they chose the person, and were not tamed, they were well done.
I’d love to see more from these two and this world.
