Bride of the Shadow King by Sylvia Mercedes
4.0
This book was a whole lot of fun. I don’t read a lot of romantasy, and fae are not really my thing, But when I saw this book, and it seemed interesting I was like yeah lets do this. Boy, am I glad I did because this ended up being quite the treat. This book had me in its clutches from the start and that did not let up. In the beginning the pace was a little slower, but it makes sense because the author was starting to lay things out, but then after a little bit the pacing picked up and continued at a nice clip. I feel like as someone who struggles with world building, this book did a fantastic job and I did not get lost or confused at all. The romance in this book was a little mild, there is a lot of angst and I’m curious to see how this goes in the next book. I feel like despite being a romantasy this book was fairly light on the romance, or it felt like it was more an adventure book not necessarily a romance book, or is there a action book about romance? It just fell a little flat in this area for me but I did still really enjoy the book.
If you are looking for a romantasy that has delightful worldbuilding and a fast plot, then you should check this one out.
