If you like DnD and/or musicals, this is your book. It's a cheesy fake dating romcom, and I'm OBSESSED! I read this in 2 days, which is my new record. It's fun it's not something I've read before but also hits you with the little bit of y2k Disney channel nostalgia.
I'd definitely recommend this book, and I was so sad that the book was over and I can never read this for the first time again, I'm also going to buy Kristy Boyce's other books... can I also mention THE COVER??? It's so cute!
5/5 stars

I liked the book from the beginning. The characters are lovable, and the spice is not too much.
I did get the ick everything Leroi describes Seraphine as a child but later does the nasty with her. You see her as a child or not.
I was able to see through it as it wasn't in the book that much.
I didn't see the plot twist coming, and I'd definitely recommend this book to other people.

This book is about Vivian, a human Princess who gets married off to the seemingly cruel Winter king, Xavier. Vivian has been married with a mission, to kill the winter king, but Xavier uses her to gain more power and has trust issues. While Vivian tries her best to get him to trust her so she can kill him, they fall in love with each other, but will the truth be too much?
I have to be honest, it took me a little while to get into but that is also my fault since I was in a slump for the last 2 months.
I liked Vivian's personality and I'd like for her to share her husband with me, thanks.
My favourite character was Drax, it was a shame we didn't get to see him more.
I did really enjoy this book alot, took me out of my slump. The book was alot of fun and I liked the sarcastic banter we got.
Can't wait to read Kash's book ❤️

I had a good time reading this, felt good to read something after being in a reading slump.
Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

This manga is a great introduction to the series. It introduces all it’s important characters and I already love Maomao, she’s funny and lovable even with her being abducted. I can’t wait to see how this is going to be used along the series.
Jinshi is a close second favourite, he’s great.
This is a historical romance and is a slice of life story and I can’t wait to read more.

At the beginning of this book I didn’t really like Nesta, as the story went on I realised that was because I relate a lot to her.
This is absolutely my favourite book from the series so far and can’t wait until the rest of the books come out so I can see the characters again.
I’d definitely recommend reading this, I couldn’t have asked a better book to finish my reading goal with.

I really loved this novella, the moments between their little found family is really cute.
Elain is starting to grow on me while Nesta is still in the pool of characters I don’t know how to feel about.
Nesta’s alcholism which I feel like is going to be a big part in acosm, is protracted realistically. I recognise her behaviour in my own family members who suffer from an addiction. I’d love to see how this plays out.
What I didn’t like and made me thrown off was the weird pov changes that happened through out different peoples POV’s. Feyre’s and Rhys’s POV’s was in first person as Morrigan, Cassian, Nesta’s etc. Where 3rd person which was an odd choice from the author.
