Another LOL magical romance that I'm adding to my "reread when I'm sad" pile. I liked this book both more and less than the first. This one felt cozier, had less fast-paced half-detailed world building, and had some fantastic smut, and it's actually one of my first werewolf romances (his wagging tail was such a highlight). I'm so happy my favorite talking sword was in this one (you have to read the novella in between these books to understand Alexis). I didn't feel as connected to this couple as I did in the first book, I didn't love the insta-love (yes he imprints and gets hit with a love potion, but she falls a little too quickly for my taste), and there was some dubious consent throughout the book. The ending suddenly felt much larger than a cozy romance and that was kind of a shock, but it wasn't too bad. Overall a fun story and I can't wait to keep going with the series (keep writing these books for every character in this world please and thank you).
