I've read more romance books in the last year than I have in my entire life, and this is nothing like any of them, and I enjoyed it all the more for it.

Verbose in a charming way, descriptive but never long-winded, plenty of puns and characters with histories and personalities that make their extended lifetimes feel concrete.

Also. Fantasy politics. I am a slut for fantasy politics.

Feels very distinctly like a fanfic that was grabbed by a plot and given no choice but to commit to it fully. All the best ones are.

This may not be the vibe that everyone is looking for, but I enjoyed meandering my way through the story and letting the frankly incredibly rich world unravel as I went.


Also demon rose cameo

Fun, but a little underwhelming after all the praise i heard. The pacing felt off, the worldbuilding doesn't live up to potential and it seems like the first part of a much longer book, rather than the first book of a series. Lots of humor (puns!) and great character chemistry though.
