I don't have a ton of thoughts about this book other than it being pretty good. The "metamagic" concept was really clever, honestly much more inspired than anything happening in the works being parodied here. The spicy parts were very hot. There were fewer of them than I was expecting, but definitely the right amount. It's a fairly personal story with relatively small stakes, more in line with the average romance than the average fantasy. That probably makes sense for book 1 of a series though. It does a great job establishing the world's rules, which are pretty intriguing. I'd love to read a followup with a grander, more far-reaching plot.
