Ah Verhan. The author’s note describes him as an “adorable moron” and he really is. I love him, messy bundle of chaotic noble and selfish impulses that he is. It’s fun watching him fall in love in spite of himself, and Hernan Seinnés is definitely the perfect person for him to fall for. Their interactions are so beautifully awkward-- until they aren’t, and then they’re beautifully sweet as only first-time falling in love can be. The way the author deftly weaves little snippets from the characters’ lives and upbringings, along with information about their cultural backgrounds, really adds depth to their romance, as well as fleshing out the world they inhabit. My one complaint about this story is that it ends too soon! I so very badly wanted to see what happened after what turned out to be the final scene, at least to see a conversation between the two of them. On one hand, I should be (and am) grateful for the HEA, but on the other...c’mon, how do I not get to see Verhan grovel? Overall, however, a fun, funny, sweet read.

About the author
Palpable longing
The books in The Order series usually follow the story of archer Ervyn and a half-breed assassin by the name of Lochan. Twenty-One Arrow Salute, however, deviates from their adventures - mostly in love - and centers around Ervyn's cousin Verhan. As a skilled archer himself, Verhan is tasked with instructing Hernan on how to use a bow the latter is unfamiliar with. At first Verhan agrees to do so to save his own skin when a superior officer discovers him doing what he shouldn't be doing (again), but soon their lessons bring the two men from different elven races closer. And thus begin instructions in archery, full of innuendos. While this book is rather tame when it comes to sexual content, it is full of so much longing. When I was reading its two predecessors - The Mutt and The Highlander, the yearning Ervyn felt for Lochan and vice versa was overwhelming, and here we get a craving almost as powerful. Longing is something Kasia writes amazingly well in all of the six books I've read by her so far and it's one of the things I've enjoyed the most in them. If I had to nitpick and point something I wasn't satisfied with in the book, I'd go for two things: one - I would've liked to have had Hernan's POV as well, and two - increase the volume of the naughty content; I've already read When I First Saw Red so I know Kasia can write spicy scenes. I'd recommend Twenty-One Arrow Salute to people who enjoy short fantasy romances. Unlike the other books in The Order series, this one could be read as a standalone (again, it follows a new couple), although it will give you minor spoilers of the two books preceding it.
