Review:
I always enjoy cozy fantasy and historical fantasy and when you combine them? I am always down for that, especially when its funny and filled with whimsy. We get introduced to Hilde, Elmwood and a lot of other characters that just make the whole story so fun!

Let me give first start by giving my love to Rollo, who is an adorable dog in the the book and I wish we could have gotten a way to pet him! And now about the book, I really enjoyed the plot in this one and the humour in it. The fact that we get so much excitement and it's more of a adventurous type of cozy romantasy was a fun read! I think the writing and the type of characters we have in here fit so well for the type of plot they are going through.

Elmwood is very much done with life and about to call it quits. He essentially decides he has had enough with life and that it's not worth it anymore. Hilde, on the other hand, is determined to solve the entire world and decides that only she can do so.

Both of our MCs also have Charm, which is our magic bit in here! I really enjoyed learning more about Charm, how it fits into the historical elements of the world and the world building overall. I think I would have liked to have a bit more details into the Charm as it played such a big role in both Hilde and Elmwood's lives but that's just me wanting more of the book really!

I also really enjoyed the interaction between our MCs and how it allows them to look back and to see that they both deserved better overall, whether from themselves or from others around them. I think the book does a good job of diving into how people in the position of power abuse it, whether its with their own family members or for a relationship and this is something we tend to see more in historical fantasy.

In summary, A Widow's Charm is a fun, witty story that shows us we dont have to carry the whole world in our own shoulder alone and we can rely on others to help and support us along the way and who knows? You might fall in love with the necromancer along the way!

Thank you to the author, publisher and netgalley for the Arc copy in the exchange for my honest opinion.
