Hooked from the very beginning to the end. Evie is such a strong character. Things are fast pace with so many unexpected twists. I was literally on the edge of my seat. MaehrerâÂÂs writing style is engaging and vivid, making it easy to visualize the fantastical settings and immerse myself in the story. The balance between light-hearted moments and deeper, more emotional scenes is masterfully done, ensuring that the narrative never feels one-dimensional.
In addition to the captivating storyline, the book also explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the complexities of morality. ItâÂÂs a thought-provoking read that offers more than just entertainment; it invites readers to reflect on their own perceptions of right and wrong.
Overall, âÂÂAssistant to the Villainâ is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good fantasy adventure with a healthy dose of humor and heart. ItâÂÂs a book that will make you laugh, gasp, and maybe even shed a tear. I canâÂÂt recommend it highly enough!

* 4.5 STAR RATING *
I loved this book more than I thought I would BUT not the biggest fan of the romance aspect of this book, however I did like the story between them more than I thought I would. I am a big fan of romance but not when it is joined together with fantasy. I came into this book expecting just all mystery and gore in a sense, so I think that was why I was a bit thrown off guard by the romance.
I love when authors write the characters different perspectives and I am glad that Hannah emphasized more chapters on Evie because wow what an amazing character build!!! She went on this journey of being so unsure of herself to being confident and knowing exactly who she is.
I loved The Villian in this, at first, I thought how could someone like him ever change his ways because of how evil he was AND then we got to the chapters where we got to see his perspectives and that is where everything changed. He went on his own journey where he was wronged in his past and only sought to take revenge on the king and everyone around him to caring for the ones, he held close to his heart.
It is a beautiful story of two individuals on their own separate journey's coming to realize they both needed each other, to heal from the things that once pained their lives in order to be who they truly are.
Now although I do not like romance fantasy, this one has a special place in my heart <3.

If youâre considering reading this book, please do!
Itâs not super high stakes, itâs cute, witty and has a great grumpy/sunshine slow burn romance.
I canât wait to read the next book in the seriesâ
