War is oveeeer.
I almost feel bad rating this book like this because the romance parts were AMAZING, anytime it was between Luke and Elle i loved it and it made my heart all warm. Unfortunately this isn’t a romance book so i can’t ignore how bad the fantasy part of this was. The world building was very very very not well explained, it was confusing reading the adventures most of the time. I also didn’t enjoy the writing because it felt as if the author was jumping from scene to a while different scene with no link in between which was very confusing and frustrating to read

This is the book I have been waiting for my entire life. A seamless blend of Western paranormal romance with Chinese xianxia fantasy; a romance between two lost souls saving each other (I do have a weakness for magical servants breaking free of their masters) with genuine warmth and humor. Family ties that are at least as strong as the romance. It might not be the perfect book, but it is the perfect book for me.

I enjoyed this one a lot, and I think choosing audiobook helped me feel extra connected (after skimming some other reviews' I wonder if switching to audio versus written could help some of them).
I was invested from the beginning, and I like that its a twist on the fae stories that are so popular (perhaps too much?) nowadays. I appreciated it for all its differences! It made me want to keep reading, even though I'm a little burned out on m/f fae romances.
I want to see more from the world now...
I will say, some of the family dynamics annoyed me with how repetitive they were on the FMC. I wanted better for her, but it really did take several slaps upside the head to make her realize and understand her worth and importance, and to fight for herself.
