I was really drawn to the original title of this book "Medievally Blonde," the idea of which sounded so cute! But it mostly fell flat for me. It had read as a very young adult book, I think it should be geared more towards young adult in general, because it may read better. I thought the writing was pretty clunky, and I struggled through a good amount of it. It feels way longer than it should be.

I didn't find myself really liking any of the characters. The whole story seems pretty vague in areas that are important (how Clia is improving at anything) and too detailed in some of the world-building, where I found myself not caring much about.

I also thought I'd be way more into the Irish names than I was. As being that I don't speak gaelic, I STRUGGLED with knowing how to pronounce things and I was miserable just accepting that I'm saying it wrong in my head, lol. But that's a minor complaint and more about me than the book.

I feel like it's a fine little fairy-tale like story, that's a cute reimagining of Legally Blonde, with very low risks and uncomplicated-feeling romance. It's just okay.
The cover for the book is beautiful, though!
