A really lovely book by a new-to-me author!!
From the blurb:
One inventor with eyes on a prestigious prize. One noble longing for adventure. One design that will carry them beyond the horizon.
Blaze Levimist dreams of changing the world with his invention of an airship—but first he'll have to get it off the ground. When he fails to land a prestigious job, he decides to craft a prototype in time for the Everend Market's Innovation Awards. Catching feelings for a young noble was not part of the plan.
Durae Navisora is supposed to make a good match at the marriage market, but he wishes for more from life than going from his family's tower into being locked in matrimony. He stumbles across Blaze and his project and is immediately smitten with the creator and his invention. But can he follow his heart? Or will he obey his family's designs for his life?
Marriage Market Misadventures is a light hearted series of queer romances where elves from all over the realm gather at the Everend Midsummer Markets to meet, match, and marry—with plenty of shenanigans along the way!
Katriana Prey's review:
I've been looking forward to reading this book ever since the two MC's were mentioned in Rake and the Cake, and wow, this book was amazing!
The aspect of cosmomancy being what powers Blaze's ship was really fascinating, I thought it was so unique and I commend the author for coming up with so many details that made it feel believable.
As for Blaze and Durae's relationship, they had an instant connection with one another, but that didn't mean it was smooth sailing for them. They had to have hard discussions, experience a bit of heartbreak and betrayal, before finally finding their way, but the journey was well worth it! Their relationship with each other was adorable to read about!!
I enjoyed reading this book, but I wish we would've gotten to see what happened at the Innovation Awards, I feel like the story ended with a bit of a cliffhanger. Having said that though, it was a great book and I enjoyed reading it.
