    You know, I wasn’t sure I would, but I enjoyed this! This a really easy, totally predictable, romantasy read with mediocre writing, likeable characters and a plot that’s not giving much, but hey, the vibes are there and if you’re looking for something to pass the time, this is totally it! Not much brain power needed! The beginning was a bit rough, it’s a lot of word/name/place dropping without explanation, I was sooo confused, it was almost a dnf. And the magic system? Girl. At the beginning I thought it was quite interesting and it does have potential, but it’s just not fleshed out or explained at all. Also the plot twists are extremely obvious, specially if you’ve read a few romantasy books before, this just felt like a lot of books and tropes you’ve read before put together. But I guess we like what we like, otherwise people wouldn’t write about it. And who am I to complain, I am a sucker for overused tropes 😇 So all in all, this isn’t a fantastic piece of literature, but I had a good time with it and will read the next book when it comes out ☺️

    Also Rorrik’s just giving chefs kiss
