About this listen

A reluctant heroine finds unexpected love when she's sent to assassinate a lonely dark lord in the first book of this cozy romantasy series.

Henrietta Doryn has never enjoyed fighting. She'd rather be in the kitchen baking cookies. But it's her duty as Warrior Princess to face off against the forces of evil. As such, she's unceremoniously shooed from her kingdom to go eliminate the all-powerful Dark Lord next door.

Keith Monfort has never enjoyed ruling with an iron fist. He'd prefer to be in his workroom tinkering with practical magic. But it's his duty to lead the Dark Enchanted Forest and the forces of evil. So when Henrietta shows up at his door, he's only too happy to invite her in for tea to talk it out instead.

Can this unlikely pair prevent war between their two kingdoms? Where do their true loyalties lie? And when will they finally confess their growing feelings for each other?

Blending the best of love stories, fairy tales, and whimsy—with just a dash of mystery provided by the soothsaying Madame Potts's enigmatic announcements—I Ran Away to Evil is a deliciously delightful start to a charming romantic-comedy LitRPG series.

The first volume of the hit LitRPG romantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Overall the book is good but it has one main problem in the story.
The book starts out extreamly light hearted, wholesome and funny, the first 8 hours are easily 5/5. The main character is just exploring, baking and making friends.
Then suddenly the book does a 180 and becomes super serious, focusing on trauma, schemes and overcomming abuse,
Which made me less invested, it kind of felt like I was listening to something else for the second half.

Good, but a bit all over the place

story is fun and lighthearted, female performer does a great job, male performer is letting the production down with his unhinged voices. I'll need to remember his name and avoid anything he read, it's really hard to listen to.

almost 5*

okay I'll be the first to admit that the cover drew me in. But the story made me stay and I'm glad I did.
Keith and Henrietta were adorable, and the side characters were just as entertaining as the main characters, I loved their personalities. I have to give a major thumbs up to the narrators, my gosh they really brought all the characters to life perfectly. At the end of the day I can tell you this book is like a delightful warm hug. so go ahead and read it. also make sure you have some baked goodies and tea beside you while you do

Delightful

Liked the story and it was a change of pace from the normal brutal LITRPGs. Wish both voice actors had been active at all times tho instead of 50/50 depending on chapters POV.

Wholesomeness
