Not my normal reading fare. So far from my normal reading fare I don't really know what or how to describe this. Flagged as an LGBTQI+, Historical, Fantasy Romance novel with mystery elements, it is part of the Stariel series, although I'm told it's chonologically before the rest of the series, and can be read as a standalone.

Obviously for readers who love the combination of flags noted above, it was certainly readable, funny in places and quite engaging. Lots of puns, lots of romance although I did feel that the mystery wasn't an obvious focus. (Was primarily reading it from that viewpoint so it didn't rate as a standout on that basis for this reader).… (plus d'informations)

This was a very..... pleasant read.... it didn't have to much going in ways of action or wow! moments... it was very obvious on the 'who done it' part for me.

But it was sweet, the characters were a little lacking, except for Wyn because he's the only one who seemed to have something about him that was interesting and the main was fairly well written too, she had her morals and principles and wasnt an 'everyone loves her and she's super powerful' character.

the pace was slow but easy listening. It is a book you would read if you are drained and all worn out from reading/ listening to to many action packed thrilling and magical stories in to short a time and your brain is to fried to push another one.

its a comfort book. one you sit with a cup of tea (i dont drink tea by the way) on a swinging garden bench in the sun and read at a leisurely pace. It wasn't awful, but it its also not something I would usually pick up either, it was included in audible subscription.

I probably would read the other one if it got added to the subscription, but I wouldn't go out my way to spend a credit on it.

I feel like there was a moral of the story that was being pushed, and it was to chose your own path for the future you want, even if people dont like it. :)

Fun read. Like-able, yet imperfect characters. The good ending and evolution of the relationships between the characters’ gives a book that could have been mediocre and shallow just enough depth to be satisfying, thought-provoking, and real. The ending rings true. The booked looked at first like it might be one of those books where a woman with awesome magical powers still spends most of the book being saved by men (or worse princes). Fortunately, this book didn’t do that. This heroine is the one saving herself (and some others too).… (plus d'informations)
