I love a trial story and when it’s backed up with a prize of being the queen of hell… I’m right there with you.
For me, there were a few things that let it down. One was the part where he realises she’s his mate. That’s the best part about the fated mate trope and this one just didn’t hit. It was kind of more… I think she might be my mate… rather than when it hits you and YOUR WHOLE WORLD CHANGES!! (Why did I just have a flashback to Jacob imprinting on the baby vampire?) But also in the prologue it was instant? It just didn’t really make sense…
Secondly, I felt like everyone had the same personality. Like everyone was just a snarky asshole and they were bickering all the time. There was too much banter for the sake of banter.
Genre: Romance/Fantasy
Format: Digital
POV: Dual
Tropes: King of Hell/Queen of ice, trials to the death, fated mates,
Spice: 🌶️🌶️.5 /5
Age suggestion: 18+
(The spice was hard to rate, ok. Like we started out straight from the start on a sex scene, which was then revisited later in the book from a different POV, but as much as they talked about doing it they didn’t do it that much 😂)
