I fell in love with Matt and his freckles!! Okay, I love each of the characters but naturally Arek and Matt take the top spot! I love how Arek can be so kind yet also a clown and extremely clumsy. It makes him very alluring, especially with Matt and his undying loyalty. Truly all of the characters have their own charms, unique roles/skills, and the group - excuse me, family - itself feels well-balanced. (Though Sionna and Lila have my attention for a different reason…)
Honestly, the premise sold me (and the cover helped)! I’ve actually had that thought so many times when I’ve finished a fantasy book or series or movie: What does the ‘happily ever after’ look like? What’s next?
Throw tons of humor donned in sarcasm, a band of compex misfits with a clumsy leader at the helm, and queer, wet-behind-the-ears cupids flinging arrows, and you’ve got So This is Ever After. It’s a wonderful romantasy comedy novel with loveable characters! Also, Sam Schechter and Rebecca Syracuse at S&S know how to come up with one hell of a gorgeous cover!
