This was my next #readyourkindle pick this month. It took a minute to get into it but then I was hooked. Elves find themselves trapped as prisoners of the Fae and there are great love stories but also sisterly love. Many secrets are revealed regarding the ongoing wars, births, and heritage and I love the magic in this world. I will definitely be reading the next 2 in the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Characters felt a bit too two-dimensional. My favorite were Lettle and Pila but this felt a bit too much like YA to my liking.

This was a bit event poor, not so much happened. I think I would have preferred less romance and more action.

I loved the magic, this had some uniqueness.

An elf colonel is banished and captured by the fae, who all the elves thought were extinct, after inadvertently killing a prince. It took me a moment to get into this fantasy novel and I wish more time had been taken to develop the world, magic and especially the romantic relationships, but I did enjoy reading it. It's one of those books that should've been longer but I believe it's going to be a series so maybe there will be more development.

RaeLovesToRead Yes, agree! 6mo

My #weekendreads : one audiobook and one physical library book. I'll probably start an ebook this weekend too, maybe an arc.

PopSugar Reading Challenge 2024: A book with an enemies-to-lovers plot

Faebound was straight-forward, cheesy, and obvious, but I absolutely gobbled it up.

I finished the book immediately needing the next instalment, so that's got to be a huge thumbs up.

I'm gonna round up to 4 stars because it's just what I needed, but I will reserve final judgement until I've read the whole trilogy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ruthiella I just listened to this author on the BBC4 podcast talk about the sub-genre “romantsy”. Sounds like fun! 9mo
RaeLovesToRead @Ruthiella Yeah! Like Strange the Dreamer 💕💕💕 I think I'm gonna seek out more of this sort of thing. Easy to read, lots of lust, and predictable storytelling. I do have another of her books and I'm gonna dive in soon!!! 9mo
Branwen Which cover do you like best? ❤️ 9mo
RaeLovesToRead @Branwen I read the red, but I think I like the purple... gah! So hard to choose!!! 💜❤ 9mo

Whilst this is a pretty book I have to say I had a hard time getting into the story. The world building was there and I loved that this featured LGBTQ characters there was just something...missing. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

Soubhiville Oh, it‘s beautiful! 9mo
TheAromaofBooks Lovely edition though!! 9mo

When Yeeran is exiled from her home, she, her sister, & a friend discover the city of the lost fae, & the answers to the Forever War that has raged between the elves.

This was fun, but not what I was expecting. A lot more romantasy.

I loved the sibling, it resonated with me. The world building was grand, & I loved the interesting magic systems. My biggest issue was how quickly both romances developed & that they felt flat. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

Leftcoastzen Love the mug!😄 10mo

Apparently December was a blue month for FairyLoot and Owlcrate. The December adult fantasy books were Faebound and The Serpent & the Wings of Night. Both are gorgeous editions.

BookBelle84 When I got Faebound I was so happy Fairyloot didn't do another purple book! 10mo
