God this is written so horribly. But I read it all. So what’s that say about me.

This book was very hard to get into. In the beginning, it was almost too much detailed description used, where I got lost about what I was even reading about in the first place. It took me 50% of the book to finally connect with it and start to enjoy the read. I also wasn't a fan of the back and forth emotions. For example: "I've missed this. I want this. I love this. Please, love this back, Please, don't let go. Please, remember me, Please, forget me."
I knew from the start that the boy was Cerulean and the pretending that they both had "no clue" made it annoying.

Kiss the Fae is a good book with equal parts angsty buildup and smutty goodness. The beginning of the book is a little clunky and takes a minute to get its feet on the ground, while explaining the world the details and descriptors become a little overwhelming. The story line is interesting and kept me flying through the pages. I will be reading the rest of the books in this series and I am looking forward to seeing what is in store for these sisters.

DNF at page 150. I enjoyed the premise and I even enjoyed the main character but the whole execution was poorly written. I couldn’t visualize anything since so many adjectives were used. It was just odd.

Romance, plot, characters. This book really exceeded my expectations and it was thoroughly a great read. I got a little lost with some of the descriptions but wow. I’d buy a set of this series I love them!

I got one hundred pages in and I lost my patience. I kicked myself yesterday for reading a full book that I didn't like and so I think my patience for another slow burn just isn't with me right now. I am just not invested in this story, it started out seeming like it was going to be good in the first few chapters but then quickly dwindled during her mountain challenge... I am giving up on this one unfortunately.

I started this as a buddy read after searching for something with Folk of Air vibes, and it did not disappoint!
The plot reminded me at times of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, the characters reminiscent of some personal favorites found in SJMs books, and all in all this shot to my top ten list.

Made it about 2 thirds of the way through this book before giving up. The author had the potential to craft a beautiful story but lost me with the slow pace and excessively descriptive (not even sure how to describe the writing style...). I found myself lost and not sure what was going on a lot of the time due to the writing style.

Let it be known that this was a book I greatly wanted to like. I didn't go in with any expectations, other than knowing it had vivid purple prose.
Well, good god did this book have purple prose.
Now, let me be clear. I love purple prose. Give me a novel that is lyrical descriptions and poem made form, and I will eat that s*** up. For example, I adore Laini Taylor's books. I love it, therefore, I was expecting to survive this one just fine.
I was wrong.
The second I got to chapter 2, the book was almost indecipherable. I thought I was going insane. A book that I should've been able to crunch in under 2 days took a whole week because I had to keep rereading passages because I thought I was going crazy. English is my first language and yet I was so confused—I swear to you, words were being misused. I managed to push through to the end, and I'll be honest it was better near the end, but not by much. There were paragraphs that felt like the eye of the hurricane, where I forgot, briefly, how bad the rest of the prose was. And then I'd get slapped back to reality in the next paragraph.
Maybe the most insane part of this was the overuse of the word "digits". It was once used twice in a single paragraph. Digits was said more than fingers in the entire book, I promise you. Tragically, I have a physical copy and not a digital one, so I can't ctrl+f to figure out how many times it was used (If someone with the kindle edition could tell me, I'd love to know). Another wattpad favourite was also present, because "orbs" was volleyed a few times. I actually often like to keep a tally of how many times orbs was used in a book, but I didn't this go around. Regardless, it must have been at least 4 times.
Aside from the purple prose that was lacking in its lyricism, I despised whatever accent the fmc—Lark—was given. She was the only character with that accent, and it was very country-esque? But not in a charming way. Rural but like, more Tom Sawyer and less nice-lady-from-Georgia-who-bakes-you-a-pie. Fun fact: I've never cared for the word "panties", but Lark saying "knickers" made me appreciate it. This did not bode well for the two or so sex scenes.
If there's one thing that makes me feel guilty, it's giving an indie/self-pubbed author a low rating, but I cannot in good conscience score this higher than a 2 star read. By no means is it a 1 star, however, because I've rated a few books that low and I know I enjoyed this more than those.
Well, you might be asking, "Ange, what did you enjoy?"
To which I say, "Excellent question!"
I didn't hate the plot concept. It was neat, honestly. Just not as well done as it could have been. There were lots of cool ideas, but honestly, as the setting is Faerie, it's not like I can give too much credit for the whimsical nature of it. Faerie has existed for so long across various mythos, so it's not something Jaster created entirely herself. Therefore, I can only give so many points for it. I also didn't hate Cerulean (the love interest), I just felt he was a tad flat.
And, yes, I have the Fae Crate boxed set, so I will finish this series eventually. Fingers crossed it's better without Lark as the main character. Just...I don't know, keep me in your thoughts while I subject myself to this.
