I've said it once, and I'll say it again; If I'm going to read a romance-heavy novel, you bet your ass it'll feature magic, death, and grumpy mages

This was flipping entertaining. Honestly, four stars for entertainment value alone. Whoo! I docked a star because the climax was slightly wtf-y, but beyond that, I had to actually force myself to put this down and work yesterday.

Also I'm mildly concerned by how hot I find Silhara. Like DAMN son. He can get it.
