lambsbooks 's review for:
The Ever King
by LJ Andrews
He’s a 10 but he makes you jewelry out of your enemies bones.
“Which one of those bastards did this?” I swallowed past a knot, staying quiet. Erik cupped the back of my neck, drawing our faces close. “Doesn’t matter which one. They’re dead. Their blood will spill at your feet.”
Wellll, this was de-light-ful. I love a good pirate book and this one was super fun with morally grey men, fae, spice, and dark magic. There was an otherworldly aspect to it when they crossed the Chasm, or the barrier, and went into the Ever Kingdom.
I love that both of the MCs have a disability, it’s refreshing to see and I thought they were portrayed well.
“Such venom.” With one knuckle, I stroked her cheek. “Careful with your threats of my untimely death, love, or you might end up stealing my heart.”
Erik was a misunderstood villain, which was fun (but I also like just bad villains too) and Livia was, a person? I dunno. She was nice but a little bland, I guess. She didn’t always feel like that to me and I have high hopes for her badassery in book 2!
“Hate me, curse me, I cared little, so long as I was the first thought of her day and the last of her night.”
Erik is gonna kill a lot of people in the next book 😂
“I am preparing to claim you as mine, so you should know that will be the last time another man’s name is on your tongue.”
I did find it slow in certain parts, with language that was a little boring at other times, and I hope the world is built more in the next book, but overall, I would recommend it!
“The woman is not to be touched, threatened, or harmed in any way. Those who try, will die.”
Thank you to the author for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
