Another instalment on the cosy series….this time a little more like an adventure with friends than curling up for a brew with them. A great read!

A delightful 3rd installment to this cozy fantasy series - there was a lot more political intrigue in this one along with all the mandatory cozy moments. And we ended on a big cliff hanger this time so looking forward to the next one!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book. A gorgeous 4 star read book from me. What an exciting plot, vivid storytelling and relatable, rich characters. I could put this book down – absolutely loved it.

Thanks to NetGalley and Publisher for providing ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Firstly, Rebecca has best Dedications, here take a look:
To anyone who thinks a relationship like Kianthe and Reyna’s isn’t “realistic,” but secretly wants it so badly it hurts . . . I know the feeling. And I can assure you, somewhere in the world, there is a pretty person who will bake you cookies and buy you swords and fight your dragons. Never give up.
Frankly, I enjoyed this book more than the 1st two. Kianthe and Reyna are getting married in 7 days and that have so much pre-wedding preparation to do. Can they get married that easily when they're hosting friends, family, lords, politicians, pirates, baby dragons, baby griffin and who not?
Best cozy fantasy to read curling in a sofa with tea.

I must say, I think this book is the one I enjoyed the most inthe series. It is funny, tender, with great political intrigue and quite a lot of things happening on different side while remaining emotionnaly satisfying (let's not talk about the cliff hanger though).

Rebecca Thorne manages to have competent and yet funny characters, with enough flaws to be interesting and to lead into great challenges, making the various relationships all the more a delight to read.

The book is a perfect fit for people looking for a cosy read with high stakes, mythical creatures likes dragons and griffons, romance but also friendship and a good slice of political side plot line. I must say I am not the fondest of the world, which feels too similar to our own in some aspects, but overall it is working and has great ideas as well as various cultures and political infrastructure.

A delight!
