Rhapsodic was a fairly spicy Romantsy story. It was scary but threaded with sexual assault. The age difference between the characters was problematic for me. It wasn't just that there was one, but the age and circumstances of their first meeting gave me the ick. The mystery of the children and catatonic fae was scary, but I wasn't satisfied with the resolution. Perhaps the payoff is further down the series, but I won't get there. I don't like sexual victimization as a plot point, and it was really the only thing moving the story forward.

Literally is like a Wattpad fanfic but that’s what makes it fun.. I guess… I saw someone say don’t think to hard and I agree just don’t think too hard into the plot 😂

Move over Rysand, I’m a Des girlie now.
HOLY COW. I did not expect this book to blow me away!! From the very first line of the book I was super invested. I looooved the nods to SJM. It gave ACOTAR vibes without feeling like a copycat moment. Sure, there were some similarities, but I kinda loved it? The only reason I’m not doing 5 stars is because I found the 16-year-old bits of the story to be a bit … creepy. (SPOILERS) - he falls first, KNOWS they’re soulmates when she’s 16. Yeah he doesn’t act on it then, but the feeling that he would have just gave me a bit of a bad vibe. BUT, I am willing to absolutely blow past that because of how much I adored the plot. The mystery and the general spooky factor = happy reader. Not to mention that absolute perfection that was the longing, the tension, the DESIRE. I MELTED (The Harry potter movies. Need I say more???)
Also, I hope it was intentional but the little Gatsby reference just made my heart soar.
I absolutely can’t wait to start the next book and see where it all goes.

This series is certainly addictive, and our main character is genuinely one of my favourite narrative voices, this series is both fun and deals with more serious topics at the same time. Looking forward to reading more.

This isn't a bad book at all, don't think of my rating that way. I'm very impressed with the world building but the FL and 2FL are the best fleshed out characters. The smut was forgettable.
The book didn't spend much time fleshing out the big bad. It was a bit confusing with how quickly the book reached its climax and ended.
But I enjoyed this book and I'm going to read the sequel. I'm hoping to care about the ML more because he has a lot of potential.
I went in with no expectations and this is a decent read.

I had never heard of this book or the series as a whole and I think I just found my new drug. I found myself wanting to pull up the audiobook and get more of the story than listen to music or anything else (even games! Who am I?!)
Dark wicked Fae king with wings? Check
Did I need more than that to check this out? Really no.
This book delivered and delivered. The slow burn was so well done and when we finally got there *chefs kiss*

This dark romance, fantasy really does have a great premise of mystery to it. I think the world building of the Otherworld has moments of needing clarity, but I found it to be most enchanting at the same time. The characters flash back sequences allow for much better relationship building, and allows for an easier read. It truly does give second change romance, however the reasoning for the second chance did fall flat.
