i really liked this book! it wasn’t perfect but it had the flavor of remarkably bright creatures where lonely ppl find fulfillment when their lives intersect with a dash of mystery to keep you reading. it was perfect for my reading slump mood and also made me feel a lot of ✨things✨

This book was, as the title suggests, a lot of fun! I liked the take on the chosen hero trope and the internal monologues we get, and I was seriously rooting for each character. The friendships and relationships were so heart warming and full of emotion. I especially loved Elowen and the queer/sapphic rep, and the commentary on being enough and deserving of love as you are. I felt the pacing was a bit off as we don't get introduced to the main quest mentioned in the blurb until almost halfway through which made the book feel drawn out. A lot of the conflict was based on miscommunication, which I personally don't like in books, and it was frustrating to see them continually jump to assumptions and basically self sabotage. These aspects made it harder to root for the characters as the book goes on. Overall, this was a really fun book with touching elements here and there, and a great read for any cozy fantasy lovers. 

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
