Publisher Description
For years, when I fell asleep, I dreamed of a man with blazing green eyes and a cruel smile. The day I meet him, the ruthless mercenary leaves me for dead. Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden—the power that may just be the key to my survival. But the ruthless mercenary is hiding secrets of his own, secrets that threaten the safety of everyone I love, that could tear this kingdom—and perhaps even this world—apart. Please note: A Court This Cruel and Lovely is an NA/adult romantasy book with steam. While this series is slow burn, the chili-pepper rating will increase for each book.
Customer Reviews
A slow burn that’s worth the build.
The narration is quite bland and whiny. The male voice narration isn’t much better with how dry it is.
The slow burn of the storyline and plot is excruciating, however worth it! The plot twist and ending was NOT what I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised.
It’s okay.
Something just feels missing in the writing and dialogue of the heated scenes (bedroom and battlefield). As well as the characters they feel impersonal or vague. I’m going to keep reading and hope it gets better. Plot overall is interesting enough.
Hooked!
Great book! Keeps you hooked wanting to read more! If you are into fantasy and magic I highly recommend! Loved it. Can’t wait to read/hear the other books!!
