La storia si fa leggere, mi aspettavo qualcosa dagli intrighi di corte e quindi sono rimasta a leggere per ore intere consecutive, peccato che certi concetti vengano lanciati lì e mai usati, per darci un finale fin troppo simile a LoEN e alquanto deludente. Così come il primo libro di questo universo, bella l'idea ma è lontana dall'essere sviluppata al pieno delle sue potenzialità

Maybe I’m basic, but this universe is a good time. It’s dramatic and exciting – maybe over-dramatic at times but it gives gay man writing gay fantasy in the best way and honestly I’m here for those vibes. Who needs reality? 
There’s a couple plot holes and errors (

could he not just wear gloves all the time? I need someone to explain this to me lol

but the writing flow on a sentence level is good and I think both this book’s plot and the overall story of the world is engaging. It probably leans more into being a dark fantasy rather than a traditional romance plot (don’t get me wrong, the romance is 🔥), which I think works well if you know what you’re getting into! Can’t wait to continue on in Darkmourne!

I really enjoyed this book. Even more than the previous instalment in the series and was fascinated to have the original plot be so relevant to the story of this book. 

All I have to say is pages 270-272 I may have read multiple times already

Read For:

🖤 Dark Romance

💘 Forced Proximity

😘 Enemies to Lovers

🧚‍♂️ Fantasy (Fae and Vampires)

🥀 Hades and Persephone Vibes

Absolutely such a cute book.  I love the characters, the plot, and the world building.  It was all so good.

Usually I struggled to read high fantasy but this was such an easy and entertaining read I read this in two days.  It was such an enjoyable book.

Grumpy touch starved fae that kills everything he touches (literally) meets a dying human who is able to get away with touching death himself.  Faenir was such a lovely character, Arlo was his perfect match for sure.  Their dynamic was written so perfectly.
