A King so Cold
by Ella Fields
Great heroine but too forgiving for her own good
I have a love/hate relationship with this book. Firs of all I very much liked heroine Audra even so she wasn't really heroine and mostly villain of sorts. She was mostly perfect and read about her was very interesting. But my most big issue with her is that despite she was badass and villainy she was very quickly to forget and forgive just almost anyone who betrayed her the most. Like her father, her husband and of course her lover.
Her lover Zad was almost angel and I liked that sometimes he wasn't lost puppy for her when she played with him and hurt him. Mostly his behavior was deserved. But I was very disappointed with him when his lost presumably dead wife returned and he without explaining kicked out our heroine from his mansion. It was so much out of character for him and his situation. I just couldn't understand his motivation or his thoughts. It was unclear decision and left after a lot unanswered questions. But as I said above he was great hero and mostly loyal to heroine. Although he was very mysterious and we don't know much about him except that he loves Audra.
Also I was annoyed that plot repeated itself. She was kidnapped twice and Zad saved her from death. I expected that she would be more strong, more villainy, more revengeful. But characters that fell from her rage mostly nobody.
Also I was annoyed how often she absolutely clueless and everyone around her lie to her time and time again. I really expected from such heroine more cruelty and evil. Sometimes she was just petulant child that throwing tantrums.
But she was funny and I liked that mostly she was unfazed regardless of what is happening around.
And lastly her husband aka king Raiden. I didn't like him from star, I didn't like him in the memories nor in the end. He was... petty. I think this explains perfect him.
"How I’d loved him, I wasn’t entirely sure. Though if I looked closely at what I felt for the lord of the east, then I had to wonder if what I’d once felt for Raiden was even love at all. True love was the coupling of souls, and Raiden couldn’t offer his even if he tried. I highly doubted he knew enough of his own in order to do so."
Raiden was just bad, not in villainy (I'm sorry I'm using this word do much) like a heroine, but in a way that he was pitiful, snide. He screamed whole book that he loved te heroine but didn't show this in any way. Just none. I really hated him and that heroine gave him any time of her day. He should be killed.
What can I say in summary. This book was definitely page turner and I was interested till the end. But overall I wasn't satisfied completely HFN was little bit sad. And I hated a lot of decisions that characters made. What I liked that friendship portrayed in the book, it was nice.
