I should have remembered from the first book that the sex would be off screen...but it still bothered me. And it actually made it a bit confusing when they sealed the deal. Before or after the wedding? Don't know, it was off screen.

Once again I am blown away by Alisha's retelling of the boring old fairy tales. I was never a big fan of Robin Hood, but this one can come into my life anytime. Well written and thoroughly enjoyable book. Can't wait for the next book in this series.

What an interesting read! I absolutely loved the idea and concept of the story! This book is written in a dual narrative. We see the perspectives of Rhianne, a lowly cobbler, and Werian, a fae prince.
I really enjoyed the beginning of the book, as it felt like an old fairytale. Throughout the story, many themes were explored and we encounter various mythical and fantastical creatures.I also appreciated that the two main characters do not mistreat each other (e.g. cheating, miscommunication, etc.), but have a wholesome relationship instead. Romances often incorporate some kind of drama or romanticize cheating and it is refreshing to read about partners that manage without any of these tropes.
Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the “steamier” scenes very much. This is not uncommon for me, on the contrary, I have not read many books that did not make me cringe during the “steamy” scenes. I think the fast pace of the romance in this book is the reason that I disliked the romantic encounters so much. The pace of the relationship is also the reason why I did not fully connect with either of the characters.
The fantasy side of the book left me with many questions. Some decisions did not make sense to me and I do not quite understand the magic system. I felt like there were some contradicting points that caused me to lose interest in the adventure.
Unfortunately, this novel was not for me, however, I would still recommend it for those who enjoy an extremely fast-paced and whimsical story.
