First and foremost I have to say I’m sorry you aren’t going to understand it till you read the book but I have to do it!
“SARDING”
Now that I got that out of the way! I’m not really all that big on the reverse harem thing but putting that aside it was a pretty good book! I liked that the author didn’t use the typical thing you expect to see in characters and world building! There's a lot in here that I haven't seen in any other books so that always stands out for me! Like the whole magic system! For each person it costs them something to use their magic and each cost is different for each person! That was really interesting! I’m looking forward to the next book. I wonder what else I will be able to find of the magic! If you like magic, dragons and hot guys you're in for a treat!

Ann Denton wrote my favorite Silver Springs book. I really loved Ruby, the innocent and slightly naive angel on a quest to make people happy. After finishing that book I really wanted to read more written by Ann Denton, but for some reason loads of other books begged for my attention first. However, for my Alphabet reading challenge I really needed a book with a K and it was the perfect excuse to finally start this series!
Even though the book is bigger than average I really flew through it and that's mostly because Denton's writing style flows so nicely and is just so easy to read, without it becoming simple. On top of that I really like the white line between each paragraph. It took me some getting used to at first, but my eyes are really happy with those visible resting places in between my racing. The plan was to spend two days on reading the book, I eventually only had to read the last few chapters this morning.
That's also because I really loved the world and the plot. Of course, at first it was a little vague and I had really no clue where the story was going, but I just enjoyed the ride and when more and more politics entered the plot I was more and more invested. I can't wait to explore the rest of the world and meet loads more interesting and layered characters in future books. So much awesomeness was already written down in this first one.
I also really liked the characters. I have to admit that I don't feel like we really know the guys that well by now, but I don't doubt that we're gonna see more of them in the future books and that we'll get to know them better and better. It's quite clear that they're all very different and unique, with their own personality. Just like our princess. I loved how selfless she was. How she dared to have emotions, while also being brave. She knew how to take care of herself and when to rely on others.
I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Immediately hated the writing style. It felt like the main character was screaming at me from the first word, it was so chaotic and fast paced.

Knightfall was one of those books that gave me so many opportunities to dnf it. I was so close so many freaking times.. but somehow, I pulled through and eventually finished. Thank god that I did.. because now I know that I wont go back into this book/series.
Whether it was the actual storyline or the characters, it didn't end up mattering to me. I hated everything about it. Every little thing was annoying or frustrating to read. I just couldn't get invested into this. Not even wine could help - and that is when you know this book is absolutely terrible.
The guys were meh and were a bit dramatic throughout the book. Then there's the MC and she was just a pain in the ass. The inst-love between everyone was atrocious. Mostly because I hate insta anything.
Overall, I am so freaking glad that I will never see this book again in my life.

My latest reading obsession is reverse harem stories. I like the storyline and the characters. A mixture of fantasy and romance just on a "hotter" level. This is my first introduction to author, Ann Denton. However, it will not be my last and in fact, I am happy to see the other books are out so that I can continue this series.
Bloss is not a damsel in distress. No, she would rather be up front leading the fight than in the back wearing a dress. Luckily, she has four men who are by her side...Declan, Ryan, Quinn, and Connor. Each man has their own personality. Declan is more intellectual. Ryan is the brawn. Quinn is the playful one. Connor is the young buck. Yet, together all four men and Bloss heat up the pages of this book. Someone say "mental sex foreplay".

Plot was interesting but relationships weren't particularly compelling.
