Review:

It really felt like there was no conflict and little love tbh. Maybe since this is the 3rd book in a triliogy the first 2 give these 2 back stories? A lot of the story is driven by telling us about the encounters they had as children that drove her dislike for him. (Little is shown in present day to reflect that with the exception of the duel subplot) 

Also I'm not sure I believe that a man would so willingly accept a child that is dumped upon him even today but especially not back then. 

Another thing I'm not a fan of was how neatly her "father" was willing to accept her, it just feels like social mores wouldn't have really allowed for that and everyone around her is so nonchalant about all of it. 

Plus as much as I needed a palette cleanser from some of the other things I've been reading lately, this almost felt like I went too far in the other direction.

Epiphanies/quotes/ Things to remember: None, it felt like a very quick fluff read, that I'm not sure I'll remember in a few week. (Nothing bad about it I just don't feel it was memorable)

Kingdom of ash (ToG 8)

  Title:   Kingdom of Ash Author: SJM   Publisher:  Bloomsbury Year Published: 2020 Started: April1  2022  Finished: April 12 2022 Review: I was here for Lorcan and Elide's arc. However Aelin/Rowan once they were reunited, I didn't love their arc. Also I felt that the wolf tribe reveal was frustrating another of Aelin's plans we see or hear nothing about, I guess it was a fitting way for the series to end. I did not think Aedion did enough  to redeem himself, Lysandra should have made him beg even more. I know his father died but in the run up to that  I still hate Chaol, I know I enjoyed the focus on the mmc's mental issues in ToD but here he still annoyed me. Also while I liked them as a couple in ToD, I felt like Yrene was diminished here because of her relationship with him. (I needed more of her and Aelin) Epiphanies/quotes/ Things to remember:  - "So Lorcan did." - this book was already 1000 pages long and we couldn't get their fir...

The High Mountain Court

 Title:   The High Mountain Court Author : A.K. Mulford   Publisher:  Year Published: 2021 Started:  April 10th 2022 Finished: April 13th 2022 Review: This is a book  that feels rushed, it could have maybe benefitted from another 200 or so pages. While there was decent world building in parts, others felt completely glossed over and we were left to fill in the gaps.  .  I do love a fated mates trope but again it feels rushed. Also it seems like it's going to be enemies to lovers, but she is into from the moment they meet, and I need my enemies to lovers crack  I did enjoy that the witches seemed to be main characters like the fae, and not secondary until they became annoying to the plot. Epiphanies/quotes/ Things to remember: Why did he have to speak to her like a friend and treat her like an enemy?
