"I loved the fantasy of this book. It was a perfect balance of new and interesting but not overwhelmingly complicated. The characters are adorable and relatable. The story does have more swears than I personally prefer. There were a few grammar mistakes, mostly dangling modifiers, but as the book drew me in, I stopped noticing. This is an excellent example of what fantasy can be and I am glad I've read it."

"The story is black & and white, good and evil, rich and poor, powerful & dependent and innocent and wise. But this author took time to develop the shades & highlights that made the characters feel real. The pace was good - not too much angst - but some reasonable consideration. It was mostly clean with a sweet romance building. I look forward to the next in the series."

"The story kept me reading, the worldbuilding kept me interested to learn more, and the characters drove the book forward. I enjoyed the dual perspective, going back and forth between the two main characters with very different backgrounds. Their quest was dangerous and noble, their success always in question but not unrealistic. I look forward to book 2."
