I mean, can you blame me for requesting this one? I absolutely could not help myself. Life sort of knocked me over the head as soon as I started reading it (of course) but I still managed to get this one done in just short of two days.
Thanks to the author as well as Orbit via NetGalley for the review copy!
All I wanted to do was live my life in peace. Maybe get a cat, expand my spice farm. Really anything that doesn’t involve going on a quest where an orc might rip my face off. But they say the Goddess has favourites. If so, I’m clearly not one of them.
After saving the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, all he wanted to do was kill an evil witch enslaving his people.
I mean, I get it, don’t get me wrong. But he’s dragging me along for the ride, and I’m kind of peeved about it. On the bright side, he keeps burning off his shirt.
This is the story of Cinnamon, who is a spice farmer in a small town. In this universe, demons are held beyond a barrier that the Goddess maintains. Cinnamon gets a little too drunk at the annual chosen-one-choosing ceremony and on her way back to her farm…. well… saves a demon, lol.
From there we learn all kinds of things about the world, and about the Goddess, as Cinnamon and the demon, Fallon, go on an adventure to destroy four phylacteries around the world.
And there is many shenanigans (and much horizontally mamboing, this is a romance) along the way!
I read this one in just short of two days. It was an interesting mix of a pretty bread and butter fantasy land (think World of Warcraft, or Forgotten Realms) mixed with modern language and slang. I know a few people that this sort of mix would annoy, but I love it.
I thought Cinnamon was an easy character to root for. She’s energetic and likeable. I of course wanted Cinnamon and Fallon to fall in Wuv, with an Earth W. As this is a romance, I was pretty certain that it was going to end in a HEA, and it did (yay!).
All told, if you like silly fantasy stories mixed with silly romances, you should pick this one up. It’s very entertaining. 4/5 stars!~
