Daughter of the Sun

Solid but not much more.

The world is interesting, but unfortunately I don't feel the author is confident enough in their own writing to pull off a fantasy story. Whenever there is a conflict that is bigger than interpersonal, it happens off screen, or is cut short. Which results in a. a rushed feeling climax and b. the paladin character coming across as kind of a huge loser (which i guess was kind of charming but nto sure if it was intentional).

The character interactions (Which, if you take this as a romance more than a fantasy should be more important anyway) are mostly good, but I found the development also a bit sudden towards the end.

Though the leads really needed to have sex at some point. It can be offscreen or not, I don't really care, it's not that I wanted to read a sex scene as much as I feel that the several scenes that seem to have almost-ended-in-sex in the end have no resolution.

So this basically results in a climax that is the leads agreeing: they are in love, then a lackluster plot resolution, and then nothing. There was no real climax emotionally or plot wise. So , I don't know, it wasn't bad or anything, but it kind of was lackluster.

All that said, this is still a head above most lesbian romances. It's solidly written for the most part, and the characters are likeable.
