Review by Eric
Jun 1The twists were pretty predictable. Ended on the stereotypical "the leads have fallen in love, gotten together, and defeated what they thought was the big bad, only to be betrayed by someone they thought was an ally and forcibly separated oh no!"
Worldbuilding didn't make a ton of sense (the old "each biome only exists in one place!!!", but for some reason the fisher people live... in... the mountains...???) and the editing was a little uneven - at one point a character is describing the magic item they have that lets them teleport from point to point "as long as it's within my line of sight"... and then they talk about using it to go through walls.
I also really didn't get why Six was so dismissive of and disgusted by shoes/boots for like... the first 2/3 of the books and then put on boots and it was never mentioned again. Just an odd inclusion.
It wasn't terrible otherwise. The writing was descriptive, the romance was mostly believable if again somewhat predictable. Definitely a cut above most paint-by-numbers "romantasy", to be fair.
