 Not for the Faint of Heart is a witty, banter-filled romance with found family, heists, and adventure.

Basically, it’s good fun.

If you’re looking for a kind of fantasy that’s inclusive and upbeat, this is it. The book does tackle some pretty deep topics you wouldn’t expect within all the banter, but it does work well. It’s balanced. 

The only thing that let this one down were some of the character choices and plot points. They were only minor things, but they threw me a little. It’s a slow build with a quick wrap-up which could have done with being drawn out a little longer.

If you’re going to give this one a go, check the content warnings. When I said some of the topics are deep, I meant it.
