Histoire
Selene is the youngest daughter in a gifted line of healers, born to serve as the king"s royal physician. Yet when Selene"s mother Persaphe embroils her in a plot to kill the king, Selene finds herself poisoning the very man she is sworn to protect. Things seem bleak, but there is another problem—the poison doesn"t work, and the king doesn"t die. Rather, he awakes from his coma paralyzed, aware of the attempt on his life, and furious.

I enjoyed this book immensely. It was refreshingly different and while the characters were flawed they were likeable and relatable. This book got me out of a recent reading slump and thank you to the reddit user who recommended it!!

Histoire
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College-Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

The plot dragged and the romance was underwhelming and juvenile.

I put this book down half way through and took a break because it was not holding my attention. I did force myself to pick it up again and finish it but it was a waste of my time. There are a few action packed scenes in the book but mostly it feels like drawn out filler to make up a page count.
The whole I love you, I hate you, don"t touch me, I want you, thing got old REALLY fast.

Don"t bother. The plot of this book could be summed up in a short paragraph. everything else in it is repetitive filler.
Évalué le: 2024-02-06
This book is extremely repetitive. The MC is downright stupid and the world building is weak.

Juvenile, not worth the hype.
Évalué le: 2024-01-27
This is a very juvenile story. it is marketed as appealing to adults as well as young adults, however if you are over the age of 18 I would suggest giving it a pass.
I read reviews that praised the world building and character development but the reviews must have themselves been written by young people because I did not find that to be the case. I love fey folklore stories, but more along the lines of the Emily wilde series. I can"t say enough good things about that one.

Is woke fairytale a new genre? Maybe they should be labeled as such so that I can avoid them in the future.

Aside from the woke elements, there were a lot of unrealistic elements to the story, some abandoned plot points and a limp ending. The hero was downright unlikable and his treatment of the heroine (and everyone else) bordered on abusive. I could not recommend the story. The narration was good, however. I enjoyed the Irish accents and even the Spanish accent wasn"t too bad.

Too many references to the hero"s muscular thighs
Évalué le: 2022-11-06
I couldn"t even finish this one. Where I liked the heroine, I found it unimaginable that she would be attracted to him after the way he treated her. The plot drags on rather toward the middle.
Also, I found the voices the narrator tries to use inconsistent and irritating.

High literature it is not, I agree. However it is an entertaining romance with some laugh out loud funny scenes. The bee sting scene was hilarious and I never wanted the pal mel scene to end!
