A review by anotherhalima
Hell Fae Warden by J.R. Thorn, Lexi C. Foss
reread
in first go of this series i didn’t read mfa but this time i did. a lot of the world building kind of relies on you to know how the midnight fae academy is set up.
anyway my first review still stands. i’ll add that now that i know how shades powers and how ajax suffered in mfa im almost forgiving and seeing where he is coming from. also i hate the age gap. ajax is the youngest and he’s in his thirties. idk why she had to be twenty one. gina in ffa is twenty eight so why couldn’t we do that here? i get why clair and aflora had to be young as they were still in school and most of their guys(clair) if not all(aflora) were close in age. i just feel like aging her up and giving he experience in human world combat would have been nice.
————-
the world building is kind of confusing and lacking. the magic s not discribed well either. i found this book to be very slow.
i feel like there is a lot of internal dialogue that is v repetitive. the characters are struggle with things and when some of it is resolved it feels anti climactic. it’s like why were we being tortured with all these repetitive thoughts for it be resolved so easily?
the mfc is supposed to be bad ass but i’m yet see it. sure being humiliated and standing your ground is brave but it’s not that bad ass imo. other than the first chapter in book one i am yet to see the fmc fight which is frustrating.
as for the romance idk. i hate the way the men treat her. esp melek lucifer and az. ajax has grown on me and is more fleshed out than the othersat this point.
the smut is so dramatic. i think it’s supposed to show how their meant for each other as mates but it just ends up making me roll my eyes and skip. also ill never get used to knife play. it will always be a skip for me bec what????
in next two books i want grovelling. like hard grovelling. not sex as apology but actual grovelling for all the horrible things they’ve been doing to her.
