I received this book as an ARC through Pen Pinery.
I chose this book for the premise - lone woman, forced proximity, a healer patching up a wounded commander in a haunted forest - and the world delivered.
It has good atmosphere and I cared about the leads. The dialogue felt a bit stiff to me, and some of the descriptions ended up confusing. Still, I wanted to keep reading, and the world made it worth it.
If you like atmospheric fantasy romance with sensual spice, give it a shot.
