Very enjoyable if you're into M/F romantasy with most of those tropes, which I often am. It claims to be a gender-flipped take on Beauty and the Beast, which is true only in the loosest sense of that, and is mostly a romance between a mysterious stranger and a princess who sometimes turns into a beast, dealing with both of their families, spread across multiple timelines. It's vaguely set in Ireland in the Middle Ages, minus the Christianity, plus potatoes and chocolate. The potatoes are not explained.

And, look, the prose is not good. It's not terrible, but there needed to be 70% fewer chess metaphors, and probably a similar decrease in adjectives. I don't think the cute banter was nearly as cute as the author thought it was, and do think the heroine should've eaten the hero very early in.

However, I did end up really enjoying how the timelines came together (even if I thought she should've been running all three at once, not A/B for the first half, then A/C in the second), and the romance worked out to a point where the real choices they had to make at the end felt earned and in character. Also, there was a fabulous "Summon bigger fish" moment later in. I'm not rushing out to nominate this for a Hugo Award (though I'd love/hate to see the reaction to romantasy on the shortlist, lol), but I had a good time.
