Hate the mmc

This is my second go at listening to this book as the first time I didn’t finish it. The male character speaks to the female character like she’s a possession, one of the things the female character hated about the other men in her life yet she’s all for it with this guy. It really annoyed me that she just gave in. I know we find out why at the end but it still didn’t sit right with me. I’ll give the second book a go because it’s part of the plus catalog but I wouldn’t pay for it if it wasn’t.

it's not for you if.. (may contain spoilers)

you don't want to know more than the fmc.
you want strong independent woman.
don't want to feel smarter than the fmc.


okay, i liked the story but after reading the coven this felt like an opposite fmc and where i liked that story of the coven jumped right in, this just keeps building and circling back way to many times.

within 10 minutes of the second storyline (after beginning background building etc). i already knew what was eventually revealed at the very last moments of the book.

i don't like it when the reader is more knowing then the fmc because you don't get blown away by plottwists, you what's coming and it makes me want to scream at the fmc for not seeing what is to obviously.

the fmc keeps relying on the mmc even when she keeps talking about how she doesn't want that.

She is been groomed by a person but sometimes it feels like the mmc is not that different. even when she aknowledges this, she still falls for it..

narriting the fmc or woman was good. but everytime it switched to a male character it felt really robotic.

Yeah well… I’d give it another go!

Looking forward to seeing where they go with it… could kinda see the ending a mile off but even so, I’d recommend this book, it gets straight to the point and builds the world as you go along.

Interesting read

I wasn’t sure whether I would like this story at the start…it seemed to be a bit confusing, and the MMC is up and down with being lovable and unlikable…the story overall was a good one though, I will be continuing with the series.

Fab world building and an interesting spin on Fae

Strong FMC. Loveable MMC. Predictable twist, but played out very well, so you were still on the edge of your seat, waiting for the reveal. Good humour. Touch her and die. Excellent world building.

All time favorites

I'm going to try to make this as spoilery free as possible. But just in case, potential spoilers for this book and FBAA.

This is the beginning of a fantasy series following Caelum and Estrella.

So, I seen a lot of people talk about how similar this is to FBAA and ACOTAR, and while I see where they are coming from. I feel like it's not AS similar as most people made it out to be? I read reviews before reading this and based off what people were saying I was expecting a copycat of FBAA. But, in my opinion, it was still different. I mean, it had the thing that 90% of fantasy books had so the world wasn't really unique at all. But still.

I do agree, the plot twist was very obvious, but honestly the way the author wrote it, it seemed like she wanted us to know. Pretty much right from the beginning you are getting countless hints. Whereas with FBAA, it was more shocking.

I don't know, but I loved this book so much! And I'm so excited to dive into book 2. This series has literally made it to my all time favorites right alongside FBAA, so maybe they are similar after all LOL.

If you liked FBAA, I definitely think their is a pretty big chance you'll like this as well.

Also, I listened to the audiobook for this and it was just a female narrator (which made sense cause this book is all in Estrella's POV), but when she was narrating Caelum's parts (when he was speaking), it was kinda funny, cause it was like trying to be deep but wasn't really deep. I still really liked the narration, and it seems book 2 has a male and female narrator. So hopefully its a bit better, but either way, I didn't mind it. It didn't deter me.

Overall, I loved this book and definitely recommend if you enjoy fantasy books

Predictable and uncomfortable at times.

Im a fan of ACOTR and Blood & Ash series so was delighted when this was in the plus catalogue. However in all honestly, had I used a credit on this i would probably have returned it!
The story starts strong but quickly slows to a snail pace with not a lot happening for more than half the book. The characters are unlikeable, particularly the leading male who is actually rather abusive to the point the sex scenes are uncomfortable to listen to. The twist is so predictable that I started getting frustrated at the main

Rather slow yet predictable

It took a long while for the story to actually start going anywhere and then it finishes. Not the biggest fan of the way the person read it either, had to increase the speed because it was so slow.
