This book did nothing I haven’t seen before in fae fantasy book. In fact I was hoping to be wrong about everything, but I wasn’t. 

I also wish they wouldn’t put all the intrigue into the second book. I want a full story in this one please. 
If you’re considering this book, consider instead ACOTAR, Prison Healer, or Lightlark. 

The smut was decent though.

Book was okay. Dragged a lot in the middle.  Would’ve liked to have seen more of the competition between the women. 

Minor twist st the end. 

Too dark for me to continue this series. I would’ve DNFd if I realized book was part of a series.

Bridgerton meets Hunger Games


Another underwhelming booktok book.
everything that happened was ridiculously predictable from the start and I, for one, did neither like the FMC nor the MMC(s).

It’s a fun read for sure, but predictable and lacks the world-building needed to really suck you in.

Enemies to lovers romantasy with fae, a lost princess, deadly Olympics, and “good guys” you know are up to no good. Sons who vow to be better than their fathers. Weak nobody FMC who has amazing stamina and skills. “Plain” looks but desired by all… 

Still quite enjoyable.

I love this book! 

I could not put it down and finished it fast. 

The writing is excellent, the story is excellent, the characters are fun.

The only reason I knocked off .25 stars if that the ending felt a bit rushed compared to the rest of the book. 

I cannot wait for book 2! 

Expect:
-training
-trials
-mystery
-mouthy FMC
-broody men
-fae
-magic

Overall 4.75/5 stars
Spice 1.5/5

I enjoy the banter and the layers of plot. I go back and forth on liking Lor, but I find myself mostly rooting for her. It was a quick read with a good balance of description and dialogue.
