“𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳. 𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘔𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦.”
This book has been on my TBR forever and was part of my “10 Before the End” so I dove right in! It was a fun read, and I really liked the MCs and key side characters, but overall it was pretty rote as far as Romantasy goes. It checked all the boxes: shadow daddy MMC, forced proximity, dragons, unique magic, interesting world building…but it wasn’t particularly original. Overall I enjoyed it and will be continuing the series, but I am definitely hoping for some additional pizazz in the next two books.
