My Review:
This book has a little bit of mystery, a little bit of intrigue, a little bit of romance, and a little bit of adventure. I enjoyed the blending of multiple genres within this book. If you’re a fan of the book (or even the movie) Princess Bride, you might be a fan of this novel as well.
The fantasy elements were centered around fantastical creatures like unicorns and gnomes and the tone of the book kept its historical feel even through the introduction of these fantastical creatures. The introduction was well-grounded in the environment and characteristics of the past before bringing the fantastical creatures into the plot.
The pacing of this book felt like it was an action/mystery story broken up into parts as if it was a quest story with multiple distinct segments.
Like other Bastedo books, and true to the genre of romance, this story features a happy ending.
This novel was Independently published (05/31/2022) and is available on Amazon here.
TLDR Star Rating: 3.75
