another book, where in the beginning I thought it's great, maybe new fav, there's some tension, but since 30% it became mid and boring and it's just too many tropes and nothing original, it's literally - acomaf in the middle:
- mysterious dark "monster" warlock - she lives with him - teaches her, gives her books - he gave her new wardrobe - she has to dress like a sl^+ and pretend to be his "pet" at some party - they're planning a heist - he teaches her how to fight - and the effing worst - insta lust, no tension after initial meeting, no chemistry - and ofc he's 100+ vo and she's 25 - after knowing each other three days he calls her "my wren" and says his home could become her home and she has realization she doesn't want to leave him...more
this book ruined the demure trend for me, because ofc Shan was confident and bold, but she had to pretend to be demure and soft, and in some company sthis book ruined the demure trend for me, because ofc Shan was confident and bold, but she had to pretend to be demure and soft, and in some company she had to put a mask and be demure and i don't know if you understood, but she had to act demure - like gosh did this book went thru any editors? anyone heard of synonims?
same thing with reputation- it was constantly drilled into my mind that reputation was everything, that they had to maintain perfect reputation, that reputation was not only clothes you wear, but also how you act and that reputation was the most important thing - I UNDERSTOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME
it was Samuel who was slow and and constantly bitching that, oh no, I'm rich now, i don't belong here, I'm just a normal guy, i want to wear my old clothes and don't want to learn how to use my scary power, I'm a monster...more

it was basically hunger games, the poor girl from slums is competing in trials with rich people who are there for glory, she has to do interviews and show her powers so public likes her (this also reminds me of lightlark, I hate lightlark...more

The story was basic, creatures? typical, characters? bland, mystery? what mystery?
I'd probably enjoy it, if I was 14 reading my first romantasy, but since I've read dozens of books just like that, it was too bland for me. Nothing stick out.
You have another village healer with mysterious powers, who later gonna slay everyone, I guess, who's dumb af and can't lie and so is naive and opinionaned abt things she has zero knowledge, like girl, you're from absolute nowherehole and you're lecturing literal king about ruling? Just because you were lady of some geese and one cow didn't give you necessary qualifications to even open your mouth. And she's so jealous and he's so beautiful and so handsome, but he invaded her innocent country, but he also has great abs and even injured and in cell he's the most handsome men she's ever seen and he's so tall and- YES I UNDERSTOOD THE FIRST TIME HE'S HANDSOME STFU PLS
not to be an unsympathetic bitch or anything, but if I were living in a castle with only two men since forever I'm sure I still wouldn't act as cringenot to be an unsympathetic bitch or anything, but if I were living in a castle with only two men since forever I'm sure I still wouldn't act as cringe as main character here, but she drugged herself to sleep every night with a drug she made, so her lacking brain cells aren't that surprising
also the "romance" between her and the guy who was watching over her, locked her in a tower since she was two yo!!! and during that time made her bleed into a cup every day to satisfy his "urges" made me want to satisfy my urges and call 911 to report a crime, cus that sounds like ✨️pedo pedo pedo pedophilia✨️...more
This book would be enjoyable read up to 50%, quick, no brainer, typical ya school romance, EXCEPT THE GUY IS A FŬ¢K!NG CHEATER, this really enraged meThis book would be enjoyable read up to 50%, quick, no brainer, typical ya school romance, EXCEPT THE GUY IS A FŬ¢K!NG CHEATER, this really enraged me, cus since the literal beginning of the book he liked the new girl, while having a girlfriend and guess what??? He didn't break up with her, even tho he repeatedly thought to himself that they're not the same, they changed, he doesn't feel for her what he felt before etc and why didn't he break up with her? BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE HER ...more
are we surprised, cus I am. now lemme explain cus I have a lot to say.
firstly I must say that I really liked other Ana Huang books, I know they're noare we surprised, cus I am. now lemme explain cus I have a lot to say.
firstly I must say that I really liked other Ana Huang books, I know they're not perfect in any way, shape or form, but I had a good time reading them, knew exactly what I'd get and just was able to turn my brain off and enjoy the ride. unfortunately this wasn't the case here.
I hated the characters, totally hated them, the guy did nothing, literally nothing for most of the time and Sloane just icked me. i don't know exactly why, but something was wrong, the way she hate-watched romcoms? everything with her family? her entire storyline?
now about the plot it was just so flat and shallow. I predicted everything since literally beginning and was just waiting till shit will hit the fan with some weird miscommunication pulled from ass. I did not expect some crazy thriller, but it was just so stereotypical, rich people drama ughh
I did not care about anyone or about the plot, even the cameos of previous characters did nothing to me, this book felt so lacking
the only thing that just slightly kept me curious was Vuk and maybe for him I'll give next book a chance, cus I lowkey feel like my time enjoying Ana Huang books has passed which is a shame since I love billionaire romances...more
