Kiss the Fae by Natalia Jaster

I had so much fun with this one! This was everything I wanted The Cruel Prince to be. So much more angst + sexual tension mixed in with thrilling fae dynamics and whimsical settings/atmosphere. There is a high focus on animals, both fae and "normal" animals. I really enjoyed this aspect and the creativity behind the magical abilities associated with each. Lark's confidence in her sexual experiences reminded me a lot about how ACOTAR handled Feyre's character as well and I'm happy to see more women/teens in books being in control of their body and not always being the shy virgin we see over and over again. I loved the game aspect of this, even though it got sidetracked often. Sometimes I really wanted Lark to actually have to suffer from something in the game just to show true risk but often she got saved before anything actually happened to her. Regardless, it was still loads of fun and super creative! Lark's relationship with her family was heartwarming and I was sad to see them have to split away in the beginning but I think Lark was able to develop best on her own in this adventure. Can't wait for the future books!

I wanted to like this book, it seemed right up my alley but either it wasn’t the right time for me to read this book or it just didn’t speak to me.

I got it as a Christmas present and I have never heard of it before. The story sounded promising but it took me almost 50 pages to get to the actual story and once I did it just jumped from one thing to another without pausing or making sense of the story.

I rarely DNF books but this one was one I just couldn’t finish.

Woof. This was not good. I can’t exactly put my finger on it but I think most of it was due to the writing style. I just did not vibe with it. The world building was confusing, I wasn’t convinced the characters were truly in love with each other and the enemies to lovers shift was way too abrupt so it didn’t feel real or believable. I won’t be continuing the rest of the series.

I loved how easy it was for me to picture the world they’re in- everything is described in great detail down to the voice of the characters. This book was an incredible get away and so much fun to read. Literally had me giggling kicking my feet the whole time. Loved this.

I give it 1.5 stars because I liked the tension between Lark and Cerulean but I hated the purple prose and confusing scenes. It hurt my head so much to read this book. Definitely not for me.
