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
Fun listen
Really pretty good. Took me a minute to get sucked in but that’s because I was only paying partial attention at first. Now I’m all in 😂
Mehhh
I’m not loving the audiobook but I think it’s because the writing feels very rudimentary? It’s choppy and doesn’t flow well. The narrators voice is kind of irritating too. Maybe I’ll try to read it instead but idk
Terrible narration
I may try and read this book instead of listening to it, because the storyline sounds intriguing, but the narrators are just awful (especially the male). It sounds like she’s a robot and he’s a game show host. No real feeling or inflection. I feel bad for the author that they didn’t do her book justice.
