Screenshot of an Amazon review that reads: “Great new author. I was recommended this book by my ACLS/PALS course teacher and ended up buying the book because she talked about it and it's so up my alley. Mm fantasy romance. I just read the entire thing in under 2 days and so good! I'm bummed that this is the author's first book because I love to binge read authors. Also super loved the art work! Makes bringing his world alive in my head so much easier. If this universe became a standalone series, I would purchase so fast. The fantasy world was unique and the author managed to build a romance while maintaining an intense plot line.”
