This was a total popcorn fun read.
I even managed to gloss over the really troubling traditional roles extolling, while some was tongue-in-cheek stuff, it was an underlying theme. Women, you had better be proper women, while the men be manly men.
There was also a few plot holes and odd continuity.
Oh and it is often told of the heroes issues, but they are never actually fleshed out or resolved?? Unless it was the magic hoohoo at work again.
But I inhaled it like popcorn, and it was the fluffy fix I was in the mood for.
