I was so excited to get the ARC for this book. I have seen rave reviews for this series all over tiktok. Unfortunately, the story didn’t quite live up to the hype. The medieval vibes with modern duologue and slang didn’t fit as nicely as I had hoped. But I was better adjusted to it after reading the first book.

This was a werewolf shifter romance. One where the FMC was obsessed with werewolf shifter books, so she kept breaking the fourth wall to talk about her book plots and comparing them to her life. It was tongue in cheek and irreverent, but in an annoying way.

The world building was barely there and what was there was so slap-dash that much of it was sidelined bad dialogue and rushed plot. The end seemed so out of place with what the whole rest of the book was about. Far too intense for the tone of the book.

I wanted to like this. But I just didn’t.

After liking the first book, I didn’t have another choice but to read the second one! Where I found the first one to be comical but lacking in storytelling, this one accounted for! It was easier to follow the plot of the story AND it was comical too! May I say, I loved Alexis and need to read more about this hilarious and feminist sword. Actually, the bit where all the women just laugh at the men was my favorite, I need more please. I’ll definitely be reading the third one!

Fun, but it was missing the narrative thrust of the previous book. I kept forgetting about the big conflict when there wasn't focus on it because it was treated more like a subplot.
