Nicely written and narrated
I found the writing quite witty and the narration so very well captures the thoughts of the very likeable characters. I've marked down some books before that had excessive internal deliberations by the characters, but I never felt that it had overstayed its welcome for this book. Maybe it's the likeability of the characters, or maybe the deliberations were not empty or inconsequential to the overall story, and/or how well the narrator performed, but I very much enjoyed listening to this book and chuckling at the cheeky dialogue.

Disappointed
I had read so many rave reviews about how this was the perfect comfort read, the cosiest fantasy romance you could get your hands on, and I was excited for that, because it's just not done enough! The premise sounded wonderful and I had high expectations, but boy could I just not get behind how insufferably silly Halla is. I love Zale, Sarkis, Brindle. Even the deliberately unlike able characters were written well enough, but Halla is just so... Dense. I was grinding my teeth through half the novel. There is an attempt to reveal her mindless, meandering questions and distractedness are an intentional act and she's actually clever underneath but the reader is far too privy to her thought process with her being the MC to fall for that for long. She's sweet, kind, generous, yes all those things. I love that she's older, she's bigger, she's a widow. What a refreshing protagonist! But lord I just don't like her at all. Her self deprecating thoughts are hard to not agree with long enough to pity her. I really enjoyed everything else, but her. And well... She's a big part of this so that's hard to look past.
While I'd love to know what happens next with Sarkis and his story with the cliffhanger ending in the sequels, I just can't read them because Halla is just not worth enduring for answers.

Narration is pretty good
I was enjoying the first third of the book but the characters started to get a bit annoying, the romance was a bit dull and there was no interesting intimacy. The fantasy elements weren't great either. I would've been happy with the travelling plot if the relationship/dialogue continued to interest me.

I wanted to like this so bad
I read this because of the rave reviews and because it was recommended to me by so many people but I just didn’t click with this book. The pace was slow and dragged on. The romance as well didn’t have insane chemistry. I’m gutted because I really liked the premise and also the fact that the FMC is 36 instead of the typical super young virgin.
