The Wraith King by Juliette Cross
2.0
I don't like rating books low stars, but even 2 feels generous for this one. The premise and the cover drew me in, but that's pretty much where it ends.
The plot is nonexistent, the romance is... insta-love? The writing was cringe and at times took me completely out of the fantasy medieval world I was supposed to be reading about. Don't even get me started on the words used to describe certain body parts. I did not think a book could make me physically revolt. I was proven wrong.
The pregnancy trope was also out of the left field and, genuinely, what the fuck?
Any little snippets of a world and action there were, existed solely to push the rapidly (and at times nonsensically) progressing relationship forward. If you expect something akin to ACOTAR, you probably won't vibe with this book. At all.
