From the jump, I was sucked in the by unexpected turns and action-packed moments in this ‘romantasy’ novel. But then I became frustrated with the main character, who is ostensibly a strong female warrior, but does not demonstrate that in any real sense. There is a lot of relying on the male character’s heroics and conflicts that relied on misogyny that gave me the ick in order to move the plot forward.
It was entertaining and kept me turning the pages, but I don’t think I’ll continue with the series. I would suggest picking up The Lost Queen by Signe Pike for a similar vibe but with fantasy based off on the author’s deep research into Celtic mythology.
