I described this as "crisp" on Twitter, and that applies all the way through. We see everything through Lucky, whose ways of dealing with life drive everything she says and does...and doesn't say...and avoids. This is ideal when we have a first person story, but many writers fail at it. Zoraida Córdova succeeds. Not only that, but I loved every character, even the yucky ones.

The only thing that my logic brain threw flags down for were things magically getting done off-stage when Lucky's supposed to be in charge of it all. It's the sort of thing I won't take away stars for in this genre because it doesn't matter for this story.

Well done. Very well done. (

Wait. I thought I was about to read a fantasy novel. Romance? Well then. Not what I was expecting, but easily one of the best written romances I've come across - enough so that even though I'm really looking forward to more fantasy novels, I grabbed the next book in the series.

Córdova's writing in this one is finestkind, and their virtual assault on some of the romance tropes is priceless. (
