2.5 โญ๏ธ - Well, it was a book, with words. ๐
Maybe I am just getting drained from subpar books and putting them off as โvibe readsโ. Idk, maybe I need a break from dark romantasies because lately they all seem the same to me.
This was 100% just a vibe read, the world building and lore was practically non existent. And there were a few times where the โloreโ changed just a tad bit, but enough that it was noticeable if you were paying attention. The spice was mid, the romance was non existent. It was mainly lust. Which I read dark romance and LOVE it and can deal with just lust. But the writing for those scenes was so juvenile.
But it was entertaining to a point and I did like the FMC and that she didnโt just fall to her knees for our boring mmc. And omg he was so boring, wood has more character than that man.
Okay Iโm gonna stop now ๐
If you like this book, do not take offense to my review, these are just my OPINIONS and my feelings. It is a fun and quick read and if you loved this book, Iโm happy for you. I really wanted to like it especially because I had the special edition preordered and itโs so pretty. ๐ญ but I have cancelled that now lol and I wonโt be bothering with the second book.
Happy reading babes. ๐ซถ๐ป

I liked it, it was definitely enjoyable, but I think I expected more because of all the hype? Idk.
So it started slow, then it got really good, then it slowed down again, and then it got predictable. It is not a bad book though, the pacing was just weird. But it does have a unique magic system based on when this book was written. And the characters were intriguing enough. The premise of the book was also good and well thought out, but again it did get predictable. I called the ending 50% of the way in.
But I did love the characters and their stories and the rebellion was epic. So I will be continuing on to read book 2 as I do want to give the series a fair shot. A lot of the times the first book does drag due to world building and lore and plot build up. So I have high hopes that the second book will be even better.

- I will no longer just be accepting "I love you" from my husband after this one. ๐ฅน
LJ did it yet again. OMG, I thought I was obsessed with the first two books? No, uh uh, this is my new obsession, I want cremated with this book in my hands. We have Valen still on his hero shit, he needs to stop that IMMEDIATELY, because it never works out the way he thinks it will. ๐ We have Elise, she's even more of a baddie in this one and I LOVED IT, omg I adore her so much. The battles were so intense that I broke one of my favorite bookmarks because I was clutching it so hard. I was scared man. The love between Elise and Valen? They are the new standard. I love everything about their love, especially their banter!!
All of our side characters, who are really main characters that just don't get their own pov, were just as amazing in this one. The Nightrender? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I can't wait to start the next book, his book. Omg I am already in love.
Oh and the ending? Why did you have to make me UGLY SOB over an HEA? I was so happy for everybody that I was just ๐ญ, all over the place.
Okay, I am now off to buy the next book so I can start it asap. Please read this series, just do it, it is worth every single page. K, happy reading babes! ๐ซถ

โI want you to tell me everything. Because, Yuki, everything about you is beloved to me.โ
- *squealllllllllls*
-first off, Emma, you are annoying tf out of me and it is on sight if you donโt stop acting like a child. He donโt want you babe, never did, but yet Shin does and you donโt care? Shin is AMAZING, you are lucky he even still wants you after your unrequited crush on Itsu, be so fr.
- Oushi, youโre still on my nerves, but this volume did make me understand you a bit more. You still need to chill my guy, but youโre not on my list any longer.
-Yuki, I love that she is trying to be less nervous and is finally starting to accept that Itsu does in fact want to be with her. She deserves the world and he seems like he wants to give it to her.
- Itsu, I loved learning more about him in this volume, there are still some mysteries there but I canโt wait until he opens up more.
- Yuki & Itsu together? Ahhhhhhhhhh. Omg I am obsessed, I love them so much. ๐
Okay, thatโs all, on to the next. โค๏ธ

Still obsessing over this manga. Not much has changed lol.
This one was a little bit slower. Yuki got a job and was so cute while training. Thatโs pretty much it lol. This one was filler, but probably to set things up for next volume. Still loving Yuki and Itsuomi though โค๏ธ

Another book that I waited way too long to pick up for 0 reason.
This book is a thought provoking and captivating Arthurian fantasy. It follows Bree, as she deals with grief from losing her mother, who then discovers a hidden society based on Arthurian legend.
This book also delves in to modern day racism in an urban fantasy setting. It challenges readers to reflect on systemic issues while providing an enthralling fantasy adventure. And the adventure was so there, there were many action scenes, especially near the end. There is also a minor romance sub-plot. But I appreciate that it does not take center stage. This book mainly focuses on Bree as she grieves, deals with racism and classism in the world, discovers more about her own powers. Both magical, and personal. I adored Bree, I felt for her with her grief as somebody who has lost her father just a couple years ago, I cried with her.
The only reason this was not 5 stars for me was because it did start off slow and I feel like the world building could have been more in depth. But that's it. Everything else was perfect and I will definitely be picking up book 2 soon.
Happy reading babes!
