Sinossi
Migliaia di anni fa, gli umani erano preda delle potenti razze dotate della magia silvana. Fino a quando non venne siglato il patto: ogni cento anni gli abitanti del villaggio di Capton avrebbero fornito agli elfi una Regina Umana - l'unica donna dotata di magia - e la pace sarebbe stata preservata. Essere la prescelta è sempre stato considerato una disgrazia, e Luella è ben lieta di essere giunta a diciannove anni senza avere mai manifestato alcuna particolare facoltà: ormai è al sicuro e può continuare a dedicarsi alla sua attività di erborista e guaritrice. Fino a quando non arriva il Re degli Elfi. Per lei. E Luella si rende conto che tutto ciò che credeva di sapere sulla vita, e su se stessa, era falso. Trasportata in un mondo magico e costretta a divenire la nuova sposa del glaciale, eppure bellissimo, Re degli Elfi, Luella scopre che un mondo sta morendo, e lei è l'unica a poterlo salvare. Il suo cuore è diviso tra il paese incantato di Midscape, la sua casa e la sua gente. Ma ciò che davvero la travolgerà è una passione che non ha mai cercato.

- Hades & Persephone- Beauty & the Beast- elves & faeries What more could you want??? 😉 This was such a fun read! Going into this, I didn’t expect much. At first, the writing style didn’t appeal to me and nothing in particular stood out to me, but I’m so glad I continued reading because I was wrong! Leggi tutto
Edit: nvm dropping this to 1 star because i really did hate this :/ ---- Nothing hurts more than having one of your most anticipated reads by one your favourite authors be a huge disappointment. I guess my streak of 4/5 stars had to end eventually. But wow, why did 338 pages feel like 1000 pages ??? I don Leggi tutto
There’s a reason why they call Holly Black the Queen of Faerie. I have yet to find something that comes even close to Holly Black’s faeries, especially as in her Folk of the Air series . A Deal with the Elf King is a light fluffy romance trying to be fantasy, and not even trying hard. The only Elvish Leggi tutto
Am I expecting too much from a book these days? Or the books are just dull? I mean, I expected an angsty, swoon worthy romance. I thought there's gonna be a lot of will they-won't they moment. I also expected a grumpy hero with a mysterious past (Yeah I'm that typical. Judge me) But there was nothing Leggi tutto
The way I don't know how to write this review... I haven't written a 2-star review in sO long (not since Shatter Me, which btw I read two years ago). Also, I was going to rate this 3-stars but I realized how unfair that would be to the books I've read and rated 3 stars out of 5. So, what was this bo Leggi tutto
Not perfect but not bad either. ✔️ Hades x Persephone retelling ✔️ Beauty and the beast retelling ✔️ Slow burn ✔️ Arranged marriage Things I liked- 1. It's fast paced and something that has the potential to get the reader out of a slump. 2. It's lighthearted with nothing too chaotic or dramatic. Leggi tutto
A Hades-Persephone with a mix of Beauty and the Beast retelling hmm. I'll start with the lack of two stars in the rating. Firstly, the quarter half of the book was boring as hell. Compared to the Air Folk Series, I stated how I find them pointless but the writing was spotless. Contrary to this book, Leggi tutto
“One thing you will soon learn is that the name of the bride quickly disappears off the tongues of the people. Whoever leaves will be forgotten as ever being a part of this town. She will become the ‘Human Queen’ for stories and nothing more.” Elise Kova can do no wrong. I read Air Awakens and ab Leggi tutto
3.75 stars tw: drug use This is less of a Hades & Persephone retelling and more of an "inspired by" with Beauty & the Beast elements as well. I liked the contrast in magics we had between the two characters, with hers being nature magic and his being implied that it is tied to death (though not quite Leggi tutto
