3 Stars
n a Gaslamp-lit world
where hags and ogres lurk in thick pine forests, three magical queens form an
uneasy alliance to protect their lands from invasion…and love turns their world
upside down.
Queen Saskia is the
wicked sorceress everyone fears. After successfully wrestling the throne from
her evil uncle, she only wants one thing: to keep her people safe from the
empire next door. For that, she needs to spend more time in her laboratory
experimenting with her spells. She definitely doesn’t have time to bring order
to her chaotic library of magic.
When a mysterious
dark wizard arrives at her castle, Saskia hires him as her new librarian on the
spot. “Fabian” is sweet and a little nerdy, and his requests seem a little
strange – what in the name of Divine Elva is a fountain pen? – but he’s getting
the job done. And if he writes her flirtatious poetry and his innocent touch
makes her skin singe, well…
Little does Saskia
know that the "wizard" she’s falling for is actually an Imperial
archduke in disguise, with no magical training whatsoever. On the run, with
perilous secrets on his trail and a fast growing yearning for the wicked
sorceress, he's in danger from her enemies and her newfound allies, too. When
his identity is finally revealed, will their love save or doom each other?
I wanted to like this
more than I did. It started off very cute and is what led me to buying it.
However, the book soon became bogged down with the details and the story moved
at a snails pace. It was fine but not the best book.
