Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

I have been a huge fan of this series from the beginning! The first was my favorite and the second was good but this one was phenomenal!! I loved this one!!

I can’t get enough of this whole world. I also love the fact that each story is about separate couples but you still get to see the previous ones in each new story! It feels like a big family.

And can we talk about how Duckers is the best character?!? I want a whole story about him!!

I read this in one day because I couldn’t put it down.

4/5 stars and I would highly recommend. I will be buying a physical copy for my shelf!

Thank you NetGalley and Hachette Audio | Orbit for this ARC Copy!

I love this series so much. It is so unique and fun, and the romance is always a surprise. I think this may have been my least favorite of the series, but I still really enjoyed it and am glad that we got to spend time with more dragons in this installment.

I love how all of the characters in this series are so different and unique, and their romance stories are wholly their own. It is really immersive and fun that it is not just carbon copies of the other romances in the series. Also, there is a bonus romance that just makes me so happy so if you enjoyed the first two books in the series you should definitely enjoy this one too. I hope this series goes on forever.

Okay, I really loved this one! It was my mistake that I didn't realize that this was a third in the series. I selected to read it because of the cover lol. However, I feel like it did not take away from my reading experience. I do think it would have hit a little bit better for me if I read the other ones first but I still throughly enjoyed this one. This was honesty so freaking cute and cozy. It felt like someone was giving mea. warm hug. I mean who can be mad a book with dragons and donuts. I love that this was set in a world with Demi gods and gods. The world felt masterfully crafted and loved everything about it. It was a perfect slow burn between Rose and Adam. Their banter and tension was so fun and loved this so much.

I would 100% recommend this book even not reading not reading the other two. It is on my list to go back and experience this world the way it was intended to be experienced.

A delightful conclusion to a truly unique and special series. I loved Rosie's obsession with fancy underwear and how thirsty she was for Adam--we love a sexually empowered female main character! And every minute Penrose Duckers is on page is a glorious minute. THE UNDERCUTTING OF ROSIE AND ADAM ties up loose ends for everybody in a satisfying way. If you enjoyed the first two books in the Tanria series, you won't want to miss this one.

Thank you to NetGalley and Megan Bannen for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Orbit.

4.5 rounded up. I was a big fan of how unapologetically horny Rosie was. I got choked up a couple times in this book -- loved seeing Hart, Mercy, PennyD and the gang. The larger story with Adam and Rosie was really interesting--I was curious about how the author would deal with the god-level of their relationship.

There is something so incredibly special about this series. It’s such a perfect blend of vibes! The romance, the representation and fantasy elements blend so well together! I enjoyed every single moment of this one.

Thank you so much to Orbit Books for my ARC!

4.5/5⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a great book. I am in awe of this series and how much I have loved and adored each book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Orbit for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was just as fun and made me laugh as much as the 2 previous books. It also had a more serious air to it, but not quite the level of intensity and drama as Hart and Mercy.

The world of Tanria is so interesting and has been throughout the series; a prison made for gods that humans have figured out how to move in and out of to the point that there are literally tourist spots in Tanria. It’s just very cool to see how the setting of the story has flourished from the first book to the last. The plants, the animals, the nature is valued by the characters in this place that once was horrifying and scary.

Rosie was a hoot of a character to read, she acts just as recklessly as I would expect a character who cannot die to act, and it was very entertaining (even if some of the things she said out-loud gave me a little bit of secondhand embarrassment - it’s part of her charm!).

I enjoyed reading Adam’s strait-laced and intense character next to Rosie’s as well, it was a very fun dynamic. I also called the twist with Adam’s character pretty early on and was very intrigued to see how all of that played out.

Lastly, I loved getting to see Duckers and Zeddie’s relationship arc from the first book to this one too. I liked that they were a little side plot in each of these stories that was following different people and I liked that we got a resolution for them.

I recommend this book and series as it is so unique and cool and is just a good time!

I received this book from Orbit Books and Net Galley as an ARC, and I was THRILLED!! I have been reading this series as they came out, so I was super excited! I really enjoyed this one! This one was a huge hit! I am so grateful I had the chance to read Rosie and Adam's story. =]

Thank you to Orbit Books for my gifted eARC. My opinions are my own.

Synopsis: final book in the Hart and Mercy series, the demigod Rosie, her partner Duckers, and Adam Lee may just be in a bit of a pickle when the portals stop working.

Read this for:
- size difference (she’s 6’5”, he’s pocket size)
- age gap
- returning characters from the series
- devious gods
- shadowy plants
- Demi gods
- grumpy/sunshine
- dragons

My thoughts: I have loved all of the books in this series and Rosie may be my favorite main character, she’s spunky, snarky, jaded, and lonely. Adam is probably the quietest, dry sarcastic grump around, but I loved reading him opening up to Rosie’s sunshine snark. Rosie is a girl after my own heart.

Highly recommend the whole series!!

From the author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy comes another enchanting, heartwarming journey set in the whimsically magical world of Tanria—complete with dragons, donuts, and delightfully complicated feelings. The Undercutting of Rosie and Adam offers readers a perfect blend of cozy fantasy, slow-burn romance, and laugh-out-loud banter, all wrapped in a story that manages to be both tender and adventurous.

Rosie and Adam are an unexpected but irresistible pairing—one impulsive and spirited, the other guarded and precise. Their dynamic is electric, full of friction and warmth in equal measure. As they navigate an increasingly tangled world, they also begin to unravel their own emotional armor, leading to a deeply satisfying (and often hilarious) opposites-attract arc.

The worldbuilding is rich and whimsical without being overwhelming, and the character work is where this novel truly shines. Though the pacing dips slightly in the middle, the charm, wit, and emotional payoff keep you turning the pages.

A magical and meaningful read that explores connection, purpose, and finding joy in unexpected places. Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, reluctant heroes, and romantic tension with a quirky twist.

Hark! Is this my favorite book of the series?

Megan Bannen, you absolute angel. I loved this story. It waaaas a bit insta-lovey (which is not my cuppa), but we can forgive these lover birds because they have been around a loooong time. Who is gonna begrudge them clinging onto someone who finally GETS them? Someone LIKE them?

Rosie is sooo ::chef’s kiss:: We barely learn anything about her in the previous book except that she’s tall, red (or pink!), and has lived a looooong life (which is funny because she also has a tendency of dying a lot). I love that though she’s big and tough, she’s also hella feminine (ask her about her lingerie collection).

DYING over the “short king” jokes over here. Ummm Oscar Isaac, Tom Holland, Daniel Radcliffe, Donald Glover, Mark Ruffalo, Zac Efron, James McAvoy…pick your type; I could go…all these dudes are 5’8” or shorter, so let’s not sleep on short kings LOL My biggest complaint about him is that he’s so mysterious and quiet through a good chunk of it. I wish we knew more about him.

There’s a little smidge of a mystery that is thoroughly intertwined with our MMC, and the TENSION the wonky doors caused. Oof. I think I gasped a loud a few times.

Duckers and Zedie (but especially Duckers). What can I say except I adore them? Duckers has been our sassy, sarcastic companion throughout the series, and I’ve really enjoyed seeing him grow.

It really goes to show you how good a writer Megan Bannen is and how much she wants you to invest in her characters, because here I am writing this review a full month (and several books) after I read this one.

LOVED IT. Need a special edition/sprayed edges cover for my library now.

Thank you to NetGalley, Hachette Audio, Orbit, Orbit Books, and Megan Bannen for this free, advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

These books have just been an absolute joy to read. I admit when I first saw the title of this book I was a bit bummed we weren't getting a whole book for just Duckers, but I was so pleased with this book and all we got of Rosie and Adam (and also Duckers!) I love the world building and the way these different romances all fit in so perfectly and I will miss all my friends dearly! The ending of this book was so so perfect and gave me closure for everyone while also tempting me with even more world building.

Rosie was such a great character to follow. I love her and her obsession with fancy undergarments and her relationships with other characters in this world who I adore. Her relationship with her god-father was perhaps the most interesting bit and even though it was between gods and demigods and tremendous powers, it still felt messy and relatable. This world is so creative and while I enjoyed learning new information about its mythology and origins, at the end of the day the best part were the relationships between the different characters. I wanted Rosie to have her happily ever after from page one! Adam was also such a delightful character and it was so nice to watch him open up and accept Rosie's love and Duckers' friendship. Found family stories are my favorite and this one, rooted in survival and good people, was so much fun to read.

Thank you so much to Orbit and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy in exchange for an honest review. I will miss all my Eternity friends so much but I'm excited to see what Megan writes next!

I didn't feel the connection between the characters the way I did with the first two book from this series. But overall it was still a fun book to read. I really enjoyed this world. The revelation of Adam's identity was a turning point where I started to feel more invested in the story.

As always, Megan Bannen gives us another masterpiece. This series was cozy and fun and had such a unique voice.

What a great ending to an interconnected series. I am definitely on team “recommend this book”. I can’t wait to see what comes next from this author.

I love how much the author steps out of the box, and maybe even her comfort zone, when creating her MMC. I am always here for the unconventional.

If you love found family, a story with great banter, and a fun world with incredible side characters, this story is for you!
A very special Thank You to NetGalley, Orbit, and the author for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked Rosie. She's been fun in the glimpses we've seen of her and getting to be in her head is a damn delight. She's snarky and sassy and an absolute marshmallow. Adam is stiff and mysterious and somehow the perfect compliment to Rosie. Of course seeing Duckers and Zeddie was an added bonus.

Plot wise it was so good. I loved the slow unraveling of reveals, the meandering towards the build up, and the absolutely wonderful resolution. The last few chapters were some of the absolute best and exactly what I wanted for the end of this series.

Overall, I still love Hart and Mercy the most, but this one is a very very very close second.

I absolutely love this series!! So unique and fun. I enjoyed the time jump. I love Rosie and Adam! Can’t wait to read more by this author

thanks to NetGalley for the eARC

⭐️=4.5 | 😘=5 | 🤬=5 | ⚔️=3 | 18+

summary: a portal breaks so this hot, tall demigod woman and a hot, short mysterious man with Many Secrets get trapped in Tanria which is slowly becoming infested with mystery shadow vines so they have to figure that out and also fall in love! huzzah!

thoughts: this world is so delightfully bizarre and completely unique and these protagonists are so clearly and carefully designed for each other that I can’t help but appreciate, like, the craftsmanship of it all? it’s a slow start—an initial six chapters that should have been three—but once you get into the heart of the novel it’s great. these two are so pathetically yearning for each other and I love love love the way everything resolves. I think this might be my fav of the series, even if the intro is too long? it’s a very, very solid conclusion.

The Undercutting of Rosie and Adam is a whimsical, slow‑burn romance set in Megan Bannen’s delightfully oddball fantasy world. Rosie’s irreverent immortality meets Adam’s grumpy genius in a tender opposites‑attract arc full of banter, glitter‑spewing dragons, and emotional thorns. Some of the humor leans too modern, and a few plot threads feel rushed, but the warmth, charm, and satisfying romantic payoff make it a sweet, funny, and heartfelt finale to the trilogy.
