Mildly interesting

Revisado: 05-06-25

Not great literature by any stretch. But, entertaining. There aren't really any twists... so there's that disappointment.

Revisado: 04-13-25

Perfection. Beautiful book. Great narration. After the last run of bad books i just kept thinking" now this is writing ".. i truly enjoyed every minute.

Witty well written...

Revisado: 04-09-25

Laugh out loud funny in parts and always dryly humorous this cozy is a well written and well plotted mystery. It was a refreshing read after a long dry spell of lackluster domestic thrillers ( my usual genre)
Highly recommended.

Gaslighting... again.

Revisado: 02-20-25

Weak wife, mean nasty self absorbed hubby. I've read dozens of these domestic thrillers. I wish they would think of a new formula.
Andi Arndt is great as always though.

Good but...

Revisado: 12-19-24

All of Ms. Fisher's books are great but I cannot let something at the end of the book go unchallenged. I'm in the US where pro life laws are causing the deaths of women so I must speak out.
Possible spoiler:::
Ms. Fisher disappointingly drags out the propaganda that legal medical abortions can cause fertility problems. It is not true! Stop perpetuating this. ILLEGAL abortions are more likely to cause problems but please authors do your research before pushing your agenda on others with false information. Because of this kind of nonsense women in my country are dying. It causes laws to be passed that are harming women.
not to mention that what happened when this woman was 13 was not a secret or a lie but , rather, PRIVATE. It was none of her husband's business nor anyone else's. Sigh. SMH.

Read this at a low point...

Revisado: 11-27-24

Suffering some pretty bad depression i was not sure a book about a suicidal person was what i needed. It was. Equal parts light and profound two ppl meet who would never probably become friends under normal circumstances... but they do. I find the character development to be excellent and the humor to be consistent enough to lift the mood when you need it. Overall an amazing read.

Magnificent...

Revisado: 11-21-24

The more times i read this the more i love them. I pick up things i missed bee almost every time. Lizette Marshall is fantastic at flashing out characters that seem so real to me, and I'm a cynical person but she broke through. There are parts of this book i cry, the epic battles are excellent and even the day to day with her new family is enjoyable.
I especially love how she has matured. I love her new powers and Ilyra is a perfect little sidekick. I thought at my age i was immune to sentimental literature but I'm so not!
The one problem it has created is ruining other books in this genre for me. They just cant compare.
I want to address two comments made about it being read by Ms. Robert's ( who is fantastic) in Victorian or old English.
The way it is read is an English cut glass or noble accent. I find it beautiful and fitting. This story doesn't happen in modern times. Having read each book more than.. well I'm embarrassed to say but many times i would say it is maybe 19th century. They are using chamber pots and still using bows and arrows. To me that enhanced the story. I don't like fantasies set in modern times.
This is set in a time of courts AB's royalty so the accent is spot on as it should be.
As frustrating but still wonderful as book two might have been be patient because like most of us Em grows and learns from her mistakes. And the heartbreak of Creon and the cruelty of his childhood .. well, it hits my heart at how much Em loves him. You can feel it leap right off the page or out of the speaker. Bless them both, they both deserve the love they have finally found.
I wish more ppl would try these books. They are just so wonderful. And as good as ACOTAR was, to be this was much much better.
Entire series is a winner. Thank you Ms, Roberts... please give us a few more books with these two lovers. I hate to think they story is over.

Obsessed... but

Revisado: 11-20-24

Absolutely obsessed with this series. I've listened multiple times! I love the narration... HOWEVER... this book Em drives me insane by not sticking up for Creon. And I love Lynn but those Alves.. lol i despise them! Why are they up in her sex life at all? She has a right to just be a young woman. It seems to me there are too many males trying to control her. I get frustrated listening to it but I've listened to the others so many times and I'm smooth in love with Creon. He's definitely the sexiest MMC I've ever read in any fantasy romance. I can't stand the way Tared and family treat him.
I recommend this series to everyone. And, the spice is amazing. If you can get past the controlling behavior of those alves and get to book 4 you be rewarded for your patience.

6 hours in no spice... little steam

Revisado: 10-19-24

Ugh. Well i see most here hot their book free. I spent a precious credit because i thought this would at least have a kiss.
Nothing. Im 6 hours in and its ok... no magic to speak of, a King who can't decide what he wants and a stupid reason to want to kill the MFC.
The steam ? Don't expect much. Spice? So far nothing. If it doesn't pick up I'm going to give up.'
This is after all marketed as romance. And... there is no book after this. Ive wasted many hours and no payout.
Sorry the author but this is a real disappointment. It's actually young adult. Had i seen those glowing reviews were by ppl who got free copies i would not have taken them into account.
Seriously i can wait but the buildup give us SOMETHING besides the " buzz" they both feel.
Sigh....

Stopped when the choking started..

Revisado: 10-17-24

I don't mind lots of spice even kink but the choking creeps me out. It's actually dangerous and i hope no one young reads this tried it and dies.
By the way i have knowledge of this from a doctor and experience its not just me.
After that I just didn't care because i feel like the author didn't care enough to research what kinks are safe and what is actually risky. Hence, the review. At least let ppl know you're going to be cutting off air and squeezing throats with a PSA that its a risky practice. By the way i actually knew a girl that died playing this " game " so... whatever.
