The Pacing: the pacing started out as great in the beginning but there instances where the story kind of lost me in the second half.
Bow Before the Elf Queen: The Elf Queen, Book 1 (Audio
Thane! I love love super love characters like this. He’s the mysterious misunderstood, secretly sweet and loyal male lead who immediately captures my heart.
Layala and Thane had a complicated relationship - she has been brought up to believe that he would steal her freedom, whereas he has spent his time doing what he can to protect her from afar. They had such great banter, and seeing Layala slowly let down her walls and learn about Thane's true character. Thane is patient and shows her again and again that he is not out to hurt her, we love a secret cinnamon roll. Layala's powers are completely badass, and I'm excited to see her use them more. They started as enemies, we can see the change in pace with each interaction. While Layala is determined to hate Thane for eternity, she comes to realise that what she heard about him while in hiding might not be the whole truth. I really liked them together, while the slowburn was a bit longer than I wanted, we rewarded in the end. I'm looking forward to see them together in book 2 and see how their relationship progresses. The struggle Thane had in this book between wanting to kill his father but also wanting to believe he was somehow redeemable was quite raw and believable. I really liked seeing him face this inner turmoil. Even when we don’t have the best of parents and they have done unspeakable things, it’s hard to wish ill upon them or in this case death.

Ah, there goes my virginity. The Kings elite guards at it again just dropping panties left and right out in these dusty mountains. The book comes with a fair amount of disclaimers that I want my audience to be on alert too: #violance #war #steamyromance #moralygrey characters.Love was a powerful force. It could not be bought. It could not be taken or stolen. Although sometimes it must be fought for, it must be given freely.” if he wishes to threaten my mate in any way, he will find me as a shadow at the foot of his bed. It will be the last thing he ever sees.”
