Arnée Brillhit is the captain of the Golden Dragon Knights and one of the few swordmasters on the continent. As such, finding a man willing to marry Arnée in the Western Empire is like finding a needle in a haystack. So, when Grand Duke Cassian Ternuzen of the Northern Empire asks for Arnée’s hand in marriage, Arnée’s mother gladly gives him her blessing while keeping Arnée’s identity a secret. At first, Arnée is determined to get a divorce and return to her homeland, but she quickly finds out married life isn’t so bad, especially when her handsome husband treats her like a porcelain doll. Will Arnée be able to protect her marriage without revealing that she’s the notorious “mad dog” of the Western Empire? (Source: Tappytoon)

Read the full take

Arnee Brillhit is the captain of the Golden Dragon Knights and one of the few swordmasters on the continent. As such, finding a man willing to marry her in the Western Empire is proving difficult. The premise is a romance fantasy in which a formidable warrior is more intimidating than any suitor can handle.The strength is the heroine. Arnee's skill and her blunt, self-assured manner make her a standout lead, and her dry humour is a pleasure. The political backdrop adds a layer of intrigue.The weaknesses are about the formula. The reluctant-marriage setup is common, and the long run can repeat its beats. Readers wanting a surprise may find it predictable.Recommended for readers who enjoy witty romance-fantasies with a strong heroine. Expect a sharp, entertaining read that is more fun than surprising.
