The politics are incredibly boring and predictable, and I was able to see everything coming from a mile away. Vi en una reseña de una estrella que decía algo como "ugh, that's too gay", y debo decir que ese es el punto. The whole plot was too easy and convenient, I predicted everything and wasn't surprised in the slightest at what's happening. We see two vampires, one of which is I think to be a vampire witch and the other is the original vampire, meeting with Arlo, Faenir and Auriol.

You wouldn't want to walk out without any clothes on and looking like well, looking like you did what you just did. Arlo hated Faenir as much as any captive would his captor, which I expect (and love) to see, but then he instantly forgives and starts to love him after hearing his tragic life story.

Speaking of sex and the whole hype surrounding this book for the spice that it contains, the sex scenes (and there are a lot of them) are done horribly. What I don't get is this: Faenir watches out and tries not to get too close to the staff because he don't want to kill them accidentally. Hands down one of most realistic M/M relationships I've read so far, with no shying away from their sexual desires 🙌🏽 as I mentioned before, the ending felt rushed and I get it, it's a standalone in a series of retellings but I wanted mooorreeeee I could have easily loved a longer ending but that's me being greedy. No me gustó que haya tenido tan pocos capítulos desde la perspectiva de Faenir, tampoco me gustó que hayan usado en demasía el recurso de la enfermedad de Arlo, lo usaron como excusa para poder seguir la historia, la verdad creo que perdieron el potencial, hubiera estado más interesante que Arlo y Faenir investigarán y trabajaran juntos para encontrar una cura por ejemplo. Ben lives in Oxfordshire and, when not writing, can be found reading, taking Winston - his Labrador - out for long walks, or obsessing over Marvel’s The Scarlet Witch.

Not only that, but there’s a complete 180º turn at some point and it turns into complete insta-love.I love me a good retelling of Persephone and Hades and though it started out strong, I feel like the end was rushed and a bit of a let down. narfna on “What the stories never said: at the end of the day, if a man wants to kill you, he kills you. It should have been a little less pointless descriptions and trying too hard to be a legit fantasy and more of improving the building of the emotional climaxes and the quality of the sex scenes (I'm usually not looking into that much but since I'm at it, why not mention this too). Faenir, the most revered of the elves, is known for one thing: one touch against anyones skin, and they will be unalived.

The main relationship between Faenir and Arlo is meant to be some sort of enemies-to-lovers, but instead it is entirely one-sided. It’s a fascinating impetus for a relationship: one man thinks his all-powerful magic makes him a monster until he finds that he’s still human after all, and the other thinks that he’s frail and burdensome until he discovers that he can bring seemingly infinite power to its knees with a touch.I was hoping that we would get a slow build up of the enemies to friends to lovers, but by the time I was halfway through the book and they still hated each other, I knew I wasn't getting it. Arlo finds himself tangled in a web of secrecy, family politics and unbridled magic when he comes face to face with the impending doom.
