First, I have an incredibly hard time finding the name Kingfisher attractive, I just...can't 🫣 Second, I WANTED to like this book. I think the more Romantasy I read, the more I realize I'm actually a Fantasy girlie who likes some romance scenes, not a Romance girlie who likes Fantasy settings. I WANT to know more about the world building, the lore, the setting, the politics, the drama. So part of me feels bad for giving this a 3 when it wasn't the Fantasy I wanted, but also I just had a hard time connecting with the characters in general, and the romance/steam just wasn't doing it for me.
