It took me a week to finish this - and mostly, like Heather said in her review it was touch and go for me.
I think the problem is that I have no idea where Welch would take the story? There's a lot of secret that Morgrim keeps from Fenn, and since Fenn is our sole narrator, then myself as a reader also feel that I'm in the dark. And that's not exactly fun. The world-building feels less strong, and I can't grasp the politics surrounding the country.

I’ve always enjoyed Lee Welch’s writings and was so ecstatic when heard she’s about to release a new fantasy romance. And really, SEDUCING THE SORCERER didn’t disappoint. It’s an all around fun and entertaining read with two contradicting characters, a muppet of a horse (of some sort), magic, shenanigans and lots of feelings.
SEDUCING THE SORCERER is a fantasy set in a fictional land with king, queen, princes, sorcerers, and such. It was told from sole POV of Fennrik Todd, a former groom and ex c ...more

4.5 stars rounded up.
This was absolutely lovely! I do love Welch's writing. I even liked the unusual names in this which is often a problem for me, if I can't figure out how to pronounce something I get a bit fixated on it and lose track of the story, but that was never a problem. I loved the world and the magic and how personal magic was to each person, and how caught up in what they loved or believed in most was entangled in their magic.

This one didn't really work for me, sadly. I never connected with it on any level. The characters didn't appeal for whatever reason and the romance was truly lackluster. Fenn was a pretty boring narrator and Morgrim was all over the place. I've loved everything else I've read by this author, so it was disappointing and surprising to have this one be such a dud. Can't win them all, unfortunately.

This was a disappointment. I really loved Salt Magic, Skin Magic. But this one just wasn’t as good.
It was very anticlimactic and any problems that came up either solved themselves or were too easily solved without much work. We get told about an impending war, but I never felt that war was coming.
The two main characters just didn’t totally work for me. I did like Fenn to some degree. I liked how he thought to get creative when it came to flirting. And his knowledge about horses. But their relat ...more

What a delightful surprise! The audiobook is very good and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was sceptical going in because I did not enjoy this author's previous book (Salt Magic, Skin Magic) but this one had a unique charm that I quite enjoyed. I liked how this book is quite different from the MANY formulaic books out there. This one stands out on its own in its originality and story telling. I was engaged throughout and found the plot interesting. The setting is immersive (though not quite as cinema
