*finger wavering over the star rating* I am not quite sure ... I can quite ... hit the 5 star button ...! for a laugh out loud 5-chilli spice romantasy that rips off loads of the world building from ACOTAR (I mean I don't know?? maybe these things are canon and pre-date ACOTAR?) while also making a totally new world and cool set of characters -
Very readable (600 pages in 4 days?!)
At first, I felt like the plot could be anything, it just existed as a vehicle for the flirty sniping banter between two of the characters. But, it developed
Carrion is ace, he is a lovable Cockney in my head and has the best one liners
Loved the blacksmithing and alchemy, the lesser fae, the sentient quicksilver, the zombie vampire bad guys
Enemies to lovers tropes can get lost for a bit, though. Stop bantering and grow up! Especially if you are supposedly an 1800 year old Fae prince!
Also less sure on some of the not quite consensual slightly S&M spicy bits but that is probably more personal preference
