In a feudal fantasy world, Lucas is living a life full of responsibilities. For his unmarried sisters, his spend thrift mother, his tenants who are facing a poor harvest... but on the up side he has the support of his devastatingly handsome boyfriend Alex and his cousin is the Queen.
Lucas get sucked into a magical mystery full of adventure, flirting, intrgue, humor and cute animals. I enjoyed the characters, the elements of farce, and the world building. And then at the end the whole thing suddenly fell flat.
Why? because I suddenly realized that while no doubt funny, handsome, charming, and overwhelmingly nice, our hero Lucas never really did anything to bring things to a satisfying conclusion--although he certainly took a lot of credit for it. I realized that Mary-Sue-ness of it had been gradually building up and ultimately killed my enjoyment of the story.
6/10 for being full of many other great ingredients.
