About this deal
the stakes should be low, the conflict should be mundane (but important to the characters, and by extension, to us), and there should definitely not be multiple near death experiences.
All in all, I still mostly enjoyed this, and anyone looking for a cozy fantasy with a little bit more plot/stakes probably will as well. It’s easy on the brain with a delightful and deeply entertaining cast of characters that form the warmest found family. I dont remember reading a book and catching myself daydreaming about it in my adult life, but all of a sudden I am experiencing that again!This story is also slightly more tense, and we get a possible mystery involving dragon eggs which makes for far reaching consequences, which I’m sure will come to fruition in the rest of the series.
A tiny bit of a mystery with some dragons and their eggs, and just a lot of fun banter and antics from Kianthe most of all, who loves puns and is sassy and vibrant.But Reyna is an elite bodyguard to a vengeful queen, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters - all complemented by love and good company. I am so excited to get the second book and excited to see how the story continues to evolve and grow. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen’s private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence.
