King of Battle and Blood
by Scarlett St. Clair
’”You are my light.” He said.
“And you are my darkness.” I replied.’
This was like a 7-car accident that I just couldn’t look away from. I’ve heard many mixed things about this book—with most people either loving it or hating it—and I enjoyed it more than I disliked it. But this was also just bad. Isolde & Adrian were about to fuck before page 30 (and their first conversation), and the world building was also atrocious. It was very much one of those fantasy stories that just dropped nonsense about the world in the middle of conversation between two characters.
Isolde & Adrian have about 4 solid conversations without them railing, and their smut was just as rushed as their relationship. Also the smut wasn’t even that well written anyways, and for the amount of it in here, I was expecting at least some of it to be decent. So you’d think with everything I’ve complained about I’d hate this right? Well you’d think. But I really couldn’t stop reading this. I was becoming addicted to these characters and this story by the end. Yes it’s trash, but it’s the trash that’s so bad it’s good ya know?
So do I recommend this? No, not really. But I’m glad it worked for me, and I’m actually looking forward to the sequel that’s coming out at the end of the month.
