This is a really sweet, fun adventure story. Although it's marketed as a queer romance, I think the marriage in the centre of the story is, in some ways, the least interesting part of the story. Legendary fighter Logan "the Bear" is married to a bard, Pie. When Pie goes missing, Logan goes on a chaotic quest to find his husband. Magic, magical creatures, a kind of swashbuckling, puzzle-solving, late '90s/early '00s adventure film feel to the whole thing. I hope it gets optioned because it would make an excellent romp of a movie. I particularly liked all the side characters and the little touches. One for D&D nerds, cosy fantasy readers, and fans of films like The Mummy and Van Helsing.
