The disclaimer at the start of the book does warn you that this probably won’t be the most brilliant writing or story you’ve ever read and it was right, so I can’t really mark it down more because it knew what it was trying to be. Some parts were quite good and felt like a real fantasy book and others were pretty cringe / awful / rushed.

Do you love a MMC who will do absolutely unhinged things because he loves his mate, but is never ever mean to her and always worships the ground she walks on? Then this love story is for you. Is it deep? No. Is there much world building? No. Is it completely delightful even without those components? Absolutely.

Summary Review:
This book is probably for someone who enjoys fantasy romance with a touch of darkness. It’s a quick read with a simplistic writing style and a relatively small cast of main characters for most of the book. There is explicit sexual scenes depicted on the page and some amputation/death.
More In-depth Review:
This book is nice for a reading slump. While I personally think the book was just okay, it was easy to read and had limited world building which helped me finish my first book in months.
However, the writing is very simple. The diction is elementary and the writing style is very tell not show. Most of the plot twists I was able to figure out at the beginning of the book. The beginning of the book was slow and drawn out. It lead me to believe there was going to be a big climactic point of conflict in the novel, but it never quite got there. I had a ton of anticipation, but most conflicts were trivial arguments that were resolved in a handful of pages. Even the final conflict of the novel was quickly resolved with practically no consequences.
This novel has dark elements, but the mmc didn’t really give off lethal. There was a lot of threatening to murder people and no actual murdering happening (from both the mmc and fmc). He gave off arrogant and petulant child that resource guards.
Based on the acknowledgments at the end of the book it does appear that it is the first in a series focusing on the world presented in the book. So I believe the world will be more fleshed out in those most likely.
Overall:
While this book isn’t ranked in my top notch novels. I don’t regret reading it. It was the perfect book to get me out of the reading slump that I was in. It was mostly easy to follow and had enough intrigue to keep me coming back to it. I do have complaints about the plot holes and writing style, so I most likely won’t complete this series. However, I am appreciative to this author for all the work and effort she put into the book.

I love the dedication, that's when I knew that this book is exactly what I needed.
I really liked that this has a fresh idea how the fated mates come together. I really enjoyed reading about this fae world.
It's a love story that begins on the 13th birthday it is funny and sweet and when they are grown up spicy. Sometimes it was a little unhinged but they are fae so what do you expect.
It is the perfect palette cleanser, there is not much you have to remember and the flow of the story just takes you on a lovely epic romance.
