Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope
Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.
This book is not at all for me, but you may well love it. I believe this is what is called "slow burn romance". Not being a fan of the genre, I'm not 100% about that. I'm DNFing this, but I have to tell you that it reflects well on the fantasy portion of the story that I stuck it out that long. Honestly, the moment I received the book I wondered why on Earth I'd entered the giveaway. I'm thinking it must have been pre-coffee.
So, if you love romantic YA fantasy, you may well love this. The romantic element is fairly well intertwined with the fantasy element. I don't think it would be classified as 'clean' but it isn't particularly 'dirty' either.130 pages in there has been no sex or anything but the word penis did appear as well as a thwarted rape. (I'm not actually sure if this is a spoiler. I'm really ignorant of the romance genre.)
I think it is well-done despite my disliking it.
