beautiful cover good enough story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2023

3,5 rounded 4 —> I loved the cover so I needed the book.
The base if the story is also great and gives ideas about the two next stories while keeping this as standalone. I liked the plot of being imprisonned for life than go kill the king who gave the one thing the heroine’s (Diora) torturers wanted. I really like the King’s personality and how he acted . I enjoyed that at the beggining there were a lot of dialogue too instead of a lot of inward thinking or description.
However it still had some part where I felt that this was so much repetition that I even rolled my eyes a time or two. But once Diora is over her “breakdown” the story doesnt stop there and I enjoyed the Jesh and Lav’s part very much and the peek we had to their travel.
Not immediately but I do see myself reading book2 :D

faster paced than it should have been

It felt sorta rushed, but the writing was good so it sorta balanced it. I’m never a fan of characters who just accept their circumstances. The author tried to explain some of it, and it kind of worked, but I can’t see anyone who is hell bent on killing just going “meh” that quickly.

Read for free on Kindle Unlimited
Spelling & grammar errors: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ only 1 that I found.
Storyline & character development: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cute lil story about fated fairy couple. It was predictable but not in a bad way. No cliff hanger but does end with the next story beginning. HEA, no sharing and no violent lovin.
Spice: 🌶️ honestly, it reads like a romance for younger folks. No deep descriptions of any of the acts. It was ok but I didn't dream about it happening to me. Shadows touching the MFC was a wonderful opportunity that was not utilized enough.

Not believable

I just kept getting caught on how I think someone would be personality wise after spending their entire life imprisoned and tortured. And what I think they would be like is not how she was portrayed. But if I overlook that the book was decent.

I love a story with a strong female character that sticks to her guns! Of course it never hurts to have a sexy male character either! This is a great read highly recommended

A Change of Pace

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 7, 2022

I'll start by mentioning that this isn't the first book I've read by Lola Glass. I believe the title of the first book I read by her was "Forced to Be Fae" and the story while interesting was not for me (I have written a separate review for it). Because of this, I was nervous to deep dive into a new story by her but I'm glad I gave her another shot!
While I found the writing to be amateur at times/ more telling through 1st person narration rather than truly experiencing it as a 1st person pov, I still found the plot of this romance fantasy to be captivating. I generally prefer more action in the novels I read but following Diora in her assimilation of freedom and unraveling the mystery of their pasts had me tearing through this story within a day.
There were a few world building facts I found lacking with explanations that didnt fully fill a hole, along with the writing style that causes me to deduct a star on the rating. The plot line though and lead in to the next book was perfect though! I usually read the standalone story and don't have much desire to read another in the same series but in the case of these 3 kings and the survivor women who've adopted their magical abilities, I'm truly interested to see what happens to each individually and how it'll affect the divided kingdom as a whole. Well done, Lola Glass!

Thrilling and funny!

Ms. Glass keeps you laughing and smiling as you read into Namari and Diora budding relationship. As you read you can’t help but feel the need for revenge against her captures and sympathy for the young boy who didn’t feel loved as a child. I can’t wait to read Vena and Kira’s stories.

Just go for it! Absolutely loved. Was in a slump for a couple of weeks and gave this stand-alone a try! WAS AMAZING. I hope the characters in this book are in the next. I want more of namir and dioras love story though. Maybe a second one of theirs?? 🥲

This story enraptured me from the start! Namir and Diora were such a precious pairing. I look forward to reading more and I’m glad that we get to follow their story and it’s not over yet.
