REVIEW:

Okay, so, this was a series my Tumblr bestie had been forcing me to read for almost a year before I finally felt like reading an elf fantasy romance. And I must say, I am so grateful to her for recommending me this beautiful, beautiful series.

Essie is the only princess of Escarland and is the apple of the eye of her brothers Averett, Julien, and Edmund. Escarland had been at a war with their neighbouring elf kingdom, Taranhiel, for a few years before the kings of both kingdoms were killed and a brittle treaty was signed. Now fifteen years later, the tensions are high and Essie proposes the brilliant idea of a marriage alliance to encourage peace – thinking the elves would refuse, thanks to their revulsion of humans, and finally do something at their end. But no one would have thought they would actually agree, and now Essie has to tread new waters (or forests, more accurately) with her shy, skittish, adorable killer elf husband, Farrendel.

This series navigates a lot of romances and a lot of personalities while keeping it perfectly balanced between happy, humorous, and tragic. And the character developments are just… great. It is not often I read something where the characters leave such a huge imprint on me, but this series did it.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who want a soothing young adult, fantasy read with lots of cute moments. Because there are a lot of cute moments (thank you, Essie and Farrendel).

And at last, this is for Maria, my Tumblr bestie (who will probably never read this blog because she doesn’t yet know I write blogs):

  1. Edmund (yes, sue me but he is the best and I am marrying him and that is final.)
  2. Weylind (there is just something about stoic big brothers that make me want to jump them.)
  3. Averett
  4. Julien
  5. Rharreth (sorry babe, but me likes my men with a little less honour and a lot more mischief.)
  6. Farrendel (and he is at the bottom of the list only because I want him as my BABY HE IS SO ADORABLE.)

Signing off to read the novellas, I hope at least one of you pick this amazing book one day too!

REVIEW FOR UNDERHYPED: THE GRACE YEAR

Image
THE GRACE YEAR by KIM LIGGETT STANDALONE REVIEW: If this wasn’t the height of morbidly gratifying, I don’t know what is. The blurred world-building, the cruel and tortured characters, the grisly scenes and the bone-chilling story. All of it will leave you in a semi-comatose state for days (weeks, months). Even though the start was somewhat slow, I couldn’t bring myself to put it down from the first page. (From the damned epigraph: “A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze.”) And God, if that epigraph wasn’t the perfect foreshadowing. The women in the fantasy were exactly like a trapped rat who didn’t know it was trapped. Or at least, that was what the protagonist used to believe. Romantically, it’s a love triangle. I, personally, don’t really like them and I didn’t like it here, either. But I cannot say I was dissatisfied. It was a series of heartbreaks and I loved it. I loved the bittersweet ending even more. (And I loved Michael the most, ...

REVIEW FOR UNDERRATED: THE LONE CITY SERIES

Image
THE LONE CITY CHRONICLES by AMY EWING BOOKS: The Jewel, #1 The White Rose, #2 The Black Key, #3 NOVELLAS: Wishing Well Sil’s Story Ash’s Story Lucien’s Story House Of Stone Garnet’s Story REVIEW: Six out of five stars. Absolutely unable to understand the plethora of negative reviews on this jewel (pun intended) of a story. The characters were diverse, their development was amazing and the world building was great – and without any early instalment weirdness too! The plot was original and compelling, taking us through a roller coaster of feelings. There were characters who you can’t help but love and there were characters who you just cannot stop hating, ever (*cough* Countess of Stone *cough*). Scenes you will just melt for and scenes that will chill you to bones. But all of it will definitely make you forget that they are not real, if only for a few chapters....

REVIEW FOR UNDERHYPED: THE NIGHT HUNT

Image
THE NIGHT HUNT by ALEXANDRA CHRISTO STANDALONE REVIEW: I said it once and I will say it again: you can read this author in any sequence you want, and every book will still be better than the last. The story follows a monster who feeds on fears. Atia saw her parents killed by the Gods, and she understandably hates them. But can she do anything about it? No. Not yet and not alone. Her kind of monsters, called the Nefas, were banished to the mortal realm and there is one rule every monster must follow on the mortal realm: do not kill any human. Of course, monsters still do that, and if they are fast enough, they will not get cursed. Atia kills a man accidently, and is now cursed. And can one undo a curse? By killing a vampire, a banshee, and a God. Enter Silas, a Herald, who was punished to serve the God of Death for one hundred years. Fifty years in, he is very bored by his monotonous life and would have killed himself if he wasn’t already dead. Then he learns that for his ...
