Definitely an interesting read. It does follow your standard romantasy formula with a no one girl who is deemed special. It’s very SJM inspired with how the story flows. It’s like if From Blood and Ash was written better in my opinion with a less annoying MFC. Ngl, Lore is THAT GIRL. I also love the first line in the book. It’s definitely going to grab your attention. There’s subtle themes of the unfairness of capitalism and classism within the backdrop of the book. Lore makes it a point to show the difference between her and other contestants just based off life experiences. I’m on to the next book 🫡

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.
