First, can we talk about the amazing cast of characters? I love when a book has a strong cast of women leading the way, especially in fantasy. It’s easy to like Kara, and she made a great heroine. The plot moves along smoothly, and there’s plenty of action to keep you turning pages. The descriptions are well done, without feeling overbearing, and really draw you into the story. I really enjoyed the light side of FF romance that was woven in with the action packed plot, as it added more depth to the book. Great LGBTQIA+ fantasy that all fantasy lovers are sure to enjoy
