I don’t know what it was but the story didn’t grip me in this one. Hakon felt like a 2 dimensional Orek to me and it was hard to appreciate his romance.
Still enjoyable but definitely not my favorite.

Unlike the first in this series, this book does not qualify as a cozy read. In a departure from the road trip plot point, this book focuses on a war brewing with danger from within and without the castle of Lady Aislinn Darrow.

Still, there is tons of longing and slow building romance to be had and Hakon is a delightful MMC with plenty of dashing bravery, heartfelt love and abounding loyalty to savor.

Loved the neurodivergence representation with Aislinn. I felt conversely that Hakon's disability was represented well initially, then relegated to pointless character device in the second half of the book.

It had the opportunity to be important to his character development and success or to at least be acknowledged as still there.

Ah, well. Not a 5 star read like the first, but still enjoyable and I would definitely read another in this series.
