Lord of Dance and Desire by Emma Aislyn Fae, Emma Alisyn, Alisyn Fae
5.0
LOVED IT
This author`s works are growing on me so badly, that I am starting to stalk her schedule for new releases from one month to the other. It gets even worse when I have nothing good left to read. Then, I am battling the formation of a reflex that wants me to go and re-read her books
The short and sweet of it, is that at this hour, on the book market (especially for adult fantasy/ adult paranormal/ adult romance) this is the best you can get. But, I have some comments to make on things that I would have liked to go in another direction, but those I am going to keep for the spoilers sections. I appreciate this work too much, to ruin it for others.
Spoiler
The Spoiler Section:
Because the book is divided on the POV of both parts, there are moments when their POV overlap. For example, she goes through something and the plot moves with her narration and we arrive at a point, but then, the next POV, of his, goes back on the thing that has just happened and re-tells the story from his perspective (I guess it is interesting if you are expecting for some outburst of strong emotions or confessions from his side, but it can become annoying quickly, especially if you want to move ahead with the action). Another thing that I did not like that much was the part about the ending. The entire last quarter of the book did not feel too good. It felt either like something was missing or that the story is taking an U-turn towards a direction I did not feel that it fit organically (it might be also because the book is a standalone and it is pretty hard to make a round end and fit all the things into their proper place).Regardless, this book is a 10/10 (or 5 stars out of 5, in Goodreads lingo).
