While there is some plot to the story, it really revolves around the two of them figuring out how their relationship works in the long term as well as them figuring out things about themselves as they let go the roles that have really defined them. The focus of the story is really on their relationship more than anything else. They’ve already gotten together and now they’re figuring out the next steps of their relationship including cohabitation. I loved the fact that the story followed an established couple.

There are a lot of found family vibes that I really enjoy, and the way that the book explores making new friends and building is community is great. Reyna and Kianthe the main leads were a fantastic pair, and the supporting cast is just as good. The characters are fantastic, all of them.

And really all the two of them want to is run off and open a store that sells books and serves tea. The other is personal bodyguard to the queen. One’s the most powerful mage in the world.
