Very much giving damsel in distress but the damsel is being a stubborn dummy. Howeverrrrr I do appreciate that she says belongs to no one after she’s being sold off like cattle. You tell ‘em sister! Stick it to the man. I just wish she stuck to her guns. She’s like “I will belong to no man!!” And then on the next page be like “WE MUST BONE!! I shall perish if you do not ravish me!!!” I could feel the feminism leaving her body one orgasm at a time.
I also think that there’s a bit of insta love happening. Like this man is obsessed with her from the jump. And for what?? He sees her one time and is like “I’d get on my knees for you girl” - hello!! Can we exchange names before you hit on her?? Even towards the end they’ve barely talked and they do not know anything about one another. I think the story could’ve don’t with a little slow burn, a little more longing and wooing.
Otherwise this has all the elements of a romantasy - royal family snobbery, hot brother princes, forbidden rendezvous, touch her and you die energy, fae/vampire magic
It’s not bad. I’ve just been in a slump and I don’t know if this book be hitting.
