All she wanted to do was live her life in peace—maybe get a cat, expand the family spice farm. Really, anything that didn't involve going on an adventure where an orc might rip her face off. But they say the Goddess has favorite, and if so, Cin is clearly not one of them...
After saving the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, all Fallon wants to do is kill an evil witch enslaving his people. And, who can blame him? But he's dragging Cinnamon along for the ride. On the bright side, at least he keeps burning off his shirt.

My Review: I approached this book with minimal expectations, even though some members of my book club had enjoyed it. To my delight, I found myself really liking the story! One of the key aspects that captivated me was the interaction between the main characters. Their dynamic was intriguing from the start, and I enjoyed watching their relationship evolve throughout the narrative. The author did an excellent job portraying realistic and relatable interactions, making it easy to become emotionally invested in the characters.
While the action scenes didn't pack as much of a punch as I might have hoped—they were somewhat understated and lacked a significant struggle—they were still well-crafted and added to the overall experience. The action points, though soft, served their purpose in moving the plot forward and maintaining a level of excitement. It was clear that the story focused more on character development and interpersonal relationships, which was a refreshing change from the often overly intense action sequences found in similar genres.
I'm excited to continue with the series and see where the story goes from here. The strong character dynamics have hooked me, and I'm eager to see how their journey unfolds in the subsequent books. The promise of further development in both the characters and the plot is enticing, and I have high hopes that the next installments will build on the solid foundation laid by this first book. Overall, it was a pleasant surprise, and I'm glad I gave it a chance.
