This cozy fantasy queer romance was a delight!
(I received a digital advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review)
Great cast of characters, great friendships. The plot is low stakes, but still eventful and exciting. The main characters are just lovely, and I really appreciated the dual POV.
I'm not much of a romance reader, so I don't know all the tropes, but I felt like this enemies-to-lovers relationship felt natural and sweet. It isn't a spicy book by any means. It feels like we're given just enough to feel the passion and heat, while still respecting their privacy.
All my cozy fantasy needs were met. There's tea, there's cookies, there's reading and book shopping, all in a magical world with adventurers, wands, potions, and dragons. I grew to really love this city carved into a chasm, and I want to know more. Very excited for the rest of the series!
5.0
I picked this up after watching and loving the (much longer) adaptation on Amazon Prime.
The novel met or exceeded those high expectations. As someone who watched the series first, the setting and characters felt familiar yet different, and the story was quite different, which I appreciated.
In particular, the book version of Juliana will live with me forever.
4.8
I think this is now my favourite classic. Oscar Wilde's writing is so beautiful, and I like how the writing gradually gets darker and darker as the story progresses.
My edition also contained three shorter stories:
The Happy Prince ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Birthday of the Infanta ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lord Arthur Savile's Crime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
3.5
I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I liked the premise, and Death's world, but most characters felt underdeveloped, and the Discworld itself felt much less alive than in other books in the series.
