Refreshing
4 stars
Fascinating world building and magic system, complex and interesting characters, and a pretty solid slow burn of a mystery with plenty of intrigue. I felt especially refreshed by the kindness and empathy of a male lead, and the subtle nod to women carving their own way within the margins.
A bit too spicy for my preference, but I knew going in what I was in for. I was pleased that it wasn’t overly focused on sexual content and there was more emphasis on the romance.
I’ll certainly continue and finish the series this year.
