I'm calling it. DNF @52%
I was SO optimistic going in to this one and I held on to the hope with all of my might but alas - this book sucks.
I was really intrigued by the world because in a way it's kinda similar to ACOTAR except in this book there's the fae lands, obv separate from the middle lands where humans and fae as well as other creatures live. And then I believe just a human land? I can't remember.
╰┈➤ The FMC - Flea (I know 🙄) is a changeling and has been raised by a very cruel woman who has abused and treated her terribly. The guardian only wants to get her real and biological daughter back but ends up getting killed for getting slick with a member of The Hunt (a group of 'wild' fae that come to trade in the middle lands once a year)
Anyhow, alone and with no way to pay the bills etc - Flea is forced to work for her land lord who owns a pleasure house.
This is where she happens to meet a king of one of the kingdoms in the fae lands because he owns the place and was intrigued by her - because of course he was.
So they make a deal, because of course they do and basically winnow off to the fae lands. Now, I was really trying to hang in there to see what was going to happen but both MC's are INSUFFERABLE.
╰┈➤ The MMC does nothing but order her around, eat her out and tell her to sit on his lap. Oh and alternate between calling her creature or butterfly 24/7.
╰┈➤ She does nothing but act like a dumb and spineless idiot.
👏🏻 THERE 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 NO 👏🏻SUBSTANCE 👏🏻
The plot never seemed to move along, if it did, it's slower than a snail's pace and the pages were just filled with insignificant shit so I'm giving up.
“You will wish for nothing, butterfly. You will have every comfort you need, including the protection of my court in your precious search for this home you desire. Just be mindful that should you find whatever that might be...” Flurries emerged, his words a cold and overt warning. “You will belong only to me.”
"Sweetest creature..." His lips curved and he closed the spaced between us to whisper against my mouth. "No one's intentions for you are more wicked than my own."

I got busy at work and couldn't update it yet. It's going to be my second DNF today most likely.
Oh no😭 that totally sounds so insufferable like you mentioned😭 I hope you’re next read is a better one, babe🤍💋

Oh no! I'm sorry you didnt like this one! We have to find you another 5⭐ read💖
Damn I didn't see the dnf coming at all. I might have to remove this from my tbr now. I don't like the fmc's name 😅 Also, it also sounds very similar to JLA's Fall of Ruin and Wrath 😅😅
@kendall I’ll keep my eye out. I was in a couple other of her books but I need a min to put this one behind me. There’s just some cliches that I can do without. Thank you love 💕
@britta lol seems like it would be a good time but ugh that’s all it was on repeat. Well you rated it low so I guess you know lol 💘
oh no, sorry this wasn't a hit! i was going to give this one a go but now i'm a bit hesitant 🫣 ella fields usually writes great romances.

I'm sorry you didn't like this! May your best book be amazing 🤩

My updates had been very optimistic. I got bored quick when things didn't progress and the story wasn't being fleshed out. Sigh, I think I'll avoid that JLA book then lol. I've been on the fence with that one as you know but ugh I don't think so right now. 😅

This one is a hot mess but I think it depends on what you want out of a romantasy - I still need major fantasy elements personally and not all spice.
@jademoon thank you love! 🤍💕

i'm in the same boat when it comes to romantasy. i find too much spice takes away from the fantasy world building element.

Yes, exactly! This was some kind of spice way too often and it takes away from the fantasy element as well as from the character building - like we get it she's wants the D so bad and he constantly wants to make her scream his name. Got that down, now what?
