The Bard's Bargain by Vanessa Green

First of all, thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this e-arc! I appreciate the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my review!
Now, this book had a lot of good things going, and a lot that I didn’t like. I had no clue that it contained smutty scenes before reading this- which is entirely my fault for going in blind. As someone who isn’t fond of those scenes, these particular parts of the book wrinkled my nose.
Princess Alexandra is a spoiled brat, and she remains this way for about 60% of the book. The author pulled this off well, considering we’re supposed to be annoyed by the thoughts swirling in her head. Her character development is quite good, going from someone who wouldn’t look twice at a poor person, to living among and supporting them.
The politics in this world were very well written, and I feel like I will be reading the second book. After all, if a war is brewing, I have to know who wins, right?
