DNF at 25%. It pains me to DNF a book so I very rarely do, opting instead to skim & push through..but reading this book was even more painful than a DNF. The authors self promo reels were not actually reflective of the book, so I started the book with certain expectations - expectations I could have overlooked if the writing had been better & the characters more likable.

Considering I ate this up in 2 days I definitely enjoyed it. The book really does get you hooked from the beginning and its a fun ride along the way. The banter is great and I love the magic and friendships in the story building. Even the world building is detailed but not overdone. Laya is a good heroine, even though she's stubborn and gets in her own way,but I like that she improves and makes her own decision instead of lies and what others have told her. Somewhat predictable but still a fun adventure and instantly ready to jump into the next one.

Bow Before the Elf Queen 4/5⭐️
I almost didn’t read this simply because when I think of elves I think of Santa or Keebler cookie elves

I found myself in a reading slump and started and stopped and started and stopped multiple books without one holding my attention. I had heard about Bow Before the Elf Queen by J.M. Kearl and saw it was on Kindle unlimited, so I downloaded it hoping it would pick me out of the slump.

BOY did it, I am anxiously waiting the next book Long Live the Elf Queen. The ending of Bow Before the Elf Queen was such a plot twist! I usually see these things coming...

If you love
enemies to lovers
fated mates
found family
badass FMC’s
hot MMC’s with snark
witty banter
Interesting magic systems

Then pick this book up!
