A review by em14randa
The Night Queen by Denise Daye

2.0

this was more of a 2.5 star read but i felt it would be offensive to the 3 star books, that i liked alright, to round it up. this is also more of a 2.5 chili pepper rating.

this book had so much potential, but it was just executed very poorly. the writer seems very inexperienced. and it was also very cringey… “my beautiful elf” (spoiler: she’s not an elf. this is just her petname)

this book could’ve been very good, but it was extremely rushed. usually a fantasy/romance book should be around 400+ pages but this one was less than 350. so naturally, no world building, rushed plot, confusing characterization. the “enemies-to-lovers” trope said to exist in this book was more of an irritation-to-toleration-to-lovers. it was rushed, and i wasn’t very attached to the relationship at all.
