This book was surprisingly funny and the romance was cute, but the Halla's internal monologue and external rambling were rough to get through.
Plus, the writing was kinda poor in a technical sense - I had to go back and reread sentences multiple times because a lack of punctuation changed the meaning.
So, a good book, but it has issues. ...more

This book was perfect. Funny, exciting, charming, unique. Likable characters in a world that I wanted to be able to explore even more (which is perfect since she has other books in this universe!). A delightful love story with exceptional pining and a spicy payoff. This is going to be one of my comfort books!
Holy crap! This is one of the most charming, hilarious and fun books I’ve ever read.

T. Kingfisher writes in a very unique style that I enjoy a lot. This is the second (and more serious)
"sentient sword" book I've read, and I enjoy the concept. I see this series recommended on r/fantasyromance a lot, so I look forward to continuing it. The world is very interesting.
Kindle readers beware - the Kindle version is riddled with errors that are rather distracting. I looked this up and it seems to be unique to this version of the book. ...more

I wanted to love this book since I've loved the author's other works and the main characters are a bit older......but the FMC was absolutely insufferable.
The premise was very interesting and the overall writing beautiful but the FMC just soured the whole book. ...more
