The Regressor King

by A.J. Sherwood

Death, Paradise, and the gods themselves–all rejected for the sake of love.

When King James Kronenscheld dies at the hands of the Demon King, he thinks his suffering is finally over and he can join his Edwin in Paradise. And, hey, at least he’d taken the Demon King with him, right?

But then the gods try to send James to Paradise WITHOUT his Edwin, and that is simply unfathomable. So he does the unthinkable–he turns it down and negotiates for one more chance to fix his mistakes.

Armed with memories and regrets, James regresses to before he was crowned. He is determined to woo the man he lost, even if it means facing down all his previous failures. For Edwin alone will James face Wraths and plagues, court politics, and demon kings. He will avoid the horrors of the crown and attain Paradise for them both.

Failing this time means losing Edwin forever. And that is not an option.

Reviews

[Lauren · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 stars for The Regressor King, a story with an intriguing premise, but one that is ultimately too long and too cozy to live up to it. This book opens with King James dying in the last moments of battle with a Demon King after a decade long war. Upon reaching the afterlife, James declines entering Paradise in favor of reliving his life in order to be reunited with Edwin, the love of his life. The opening of the book was a great set up and seemed to kickstart a book of intrigue, politics, and efforts to change fate. In actuality, this book is a cozy, quick burn romance that is easily twice the length needed.

Due to the fact that James is reinserted into his life at age 27, just before he is due to meet Edwin, with all his memories intact, we are given a protagonist that knows everything, can think of everything, and is always one step ahead. At about 30% of the book we learn that the events from his first life won’t follow the exact timeline in round two, but this isn’t really enough to bring any level of tension to the story. For the most part, this is a book about a man reliving his life and fixing all the small and large mistakes that made him unhappy the first time around. Consequently, there is not much political intrigue as James knows how people will react and what caused problems the first time around, we don’t get to see the two main characters fall in love because James is already in love and Edwin’s soul remembers they love each other, and the stakes are low as the gods have already intervened and told the characters they are sure to get it right this time around.

Even with those flaws though, this is an easy read. If you love unceasing devotion in your main romantic leads and cozy, everyday type of love (even if it is happening with royals in a palace), this is the book for you. Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the ARC.

Thank you for the ARC!

I was disappointed by this one I won’t lie. I’m giving this 2 stars just because I can totally see what this book was trying to be but.. it didn’t really do anything for me. The main issue I felt with this book is that moments felt extremely rushed and then there was nothing of interest happening for the next few hundred pages. It felt like every single conflict that showed up was immediately solved with absolutely no tension, I never once felt like the characters could fail at something. Everything was solved so quickly and effortlessly it just got boring by the nth time of something going ‘wrong’ and then with no effort just being fixed. I wish it expanded more on the world building because the whole thing with Gods was the most interesting part but I felt like any significant world building was just glossed over. Honestly the characters… I don’t know, I didn’t really catch the chemistry because from the getgo we were told they were sooo in love so it was just told yet I never once felt it from anything. It felt like very stale. The writing was… really not my style, yet I pushed through it all. It felt very simple and at some point I felt like it was written like a story from like 5th grade. The apparent spicy scenes were… not that good either. I don’t know, maybe from the fact I didn’t feel the chemistry.

Overall, I think the idea of it was something I appreciated but it just fell extremely flat.

This was a great second chance story. I love stories where a character is “reborn” and is able to fix their mistakes. The characters are well written, even the absolute worst ones. I love how the relationships between James and the various characters develop this time around. The pacing is good. There is a buildup to the ending and it doesn’t feel rushed.

Safety info, content warnings and tropes down below.

I was pretty intimidated by the length of this book when I got it, but I’m so glad I read it anyway. This was full of the usual low-angst sweetness you get with AJ Sherwood, two different main characters who fit together perfectly, some great world-building and possibly the coolest concept I've read in a really long time. The blurb fully sold me and it delivered. I even teared up a couple times, even though it’s generally low angst and fun at times.

It did lose steam a bit at times – it’s not easy to keep things going for that many pages – but it picked up again fairly quickly when it did. Things just went a bit too smoothly most of the time to keep the tension high through such a long story. I think my only other critique is that the switch from not being together to having wall-banging sex was a tad quick, and even that does make sense in the plot. The switch from slow burn was just a bit whiplash-y, lol.

Speaking of wall-banging sex, it’s not high spice, but I enjoyed what was there. The dynamic between the characters was great in and out of the bedroom.

New-ish words and phrases like 'body count' and 'fuck around and find out' were used, which I must admit affected my immersion in the story, as it suddenly felt very contemporary in a fantasy novel.

Would definitely recommend if you enjoy these things.

Thank you to the author for the ARC!

“All you did came at a great cost. We recognize your sacrifice. It’s why you are promised Paradise now. A life with no pain, no trials, awaits you.”
“Will he be there?”
“The man you love? No. He has not acquired Paradise yet.” I closed my eyes as despair raged through me. Here I had hoped I could rejoin Edwin, but even that was denied me. Tears welled in my eyes as I choked out, “Then it is not Paradise to me.”

My world had imploded, and my soul with it. My body had kept moving, somehow, which seemed obscene. How dare my heart keep beating when his had stilled?

I’d never in my life seen a man possess that kind of rugged beauty. The first time I’d laid eyes upon him, I’d had to stop and gather my scattered wits, as he’d quite knocked me breathless.

Out of everyone, you’d make the best king by far.” He cracked open one eye.
“I used to like you.” His grumbling complaint made me grin in return.
“Come now, you know I’m right.”
“Bite your tongue. I don’t care if you are.”

Using some dexterity, I got the covers turned down, then sat him on the edge of the bed. “All right, jacket off.” He cooperated as I tugged on a sleeve, eyes still not properly open.
“Edwin,” he said with this happy little smile, “you’re handsome.” I… beg your fucking pardon? I was nice looking, but handsome? I’d never in my life been accused of being handsome. Also, rich, coming from someone absolutely fucking gorgeous.

My breath whistled in and out wetly, my fingers gripped Edwin’s hips too tightly, but he never once complained. No, instead, my Edwin embraced me, gently combed his fingers through my hair, smoothed his hands up and down my back. “I know, darling, I know. It’s all right, I have you,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of my head.

While walking to my rooms, I dearly wanted someone to walk past us so they could see me and Edwin holding hands and I could start showing him off. Sadly, we didn’t encounter a soul, which was crushing.

I loved this book just as much as I thought I would! I am a big AJ Sherwood fan which means I’m very familiar with her writing style and I went into this book expecting humour and excellent communication between competent main characters and I was not disappointed at all. This book follows James, an adopted prince who has regressed back into the past so that he could have a chance to fix his mistakes and get Edwin into paradise with him. And Edwin, who’s James’ retainer and also the love of his life (he just doesn’t know it yet). When James decided to regress back into the past to have a second chance at this life he also retained all of his memories and he’s extremely motivated to do things right this time. As soon as he regresses he starts making a plan and in doing so he also changes some of the timeline and confuses many people but he doesn’t care because all he wants is a happy life with Edwin. Edwin, who is just along for the ride, is rightfully confused at why this newly adopted prince who he just met is treating him like he’s the most important person in the world (he is to James). But even if his mind doesn’t retain the memories, his soul does, which means he feels himself gravitating towards James and he’s ready to help James put all his plans into action because they are great plans and Edwin is very smart. I loved reading about these two working together to get things done and how impressed Edwin is with James while also being very confused by him. These two characters work together so well and even if Edwin has no idea of the people they were before he still wants to help take care of James whenever he sees James struggling. While James retaining his memories was a great help for preventing past mistakes it also means that he has some PTSD from all the terrible things he experienced in his first life and he just needs a little extra care from Edwin who’s willing to give it. The moments between James and Edwin where they’re taking care of each other are absolutely adorable. I love how Edwin knows exactly what James needs because he’s the only one who James will listen to. Edwin being the smart man he is, is always there making sure James’ plans are in place and that James is taking care of himself (which he is terrible at), he’s cool and collected but he’s also 100% ready to defend James from any scheming and plotting. At the core of this book I do believe that it is a beautiful love story between James and Edwin and I think that’s what makes it so special. Because while there is magic, villains, and an extremely engaging plot full of problems for James and Edwin to fix, James and Edwin’s romance is the most important thing. James would be willing to let the world burn before he would give up Edwin, and Edwin would do anything to make sure James never has to feel the guilt of not doing everything he could. I just love the way that these characters love each other so much and how their love is so pure I wasn’t the only one rooting for them. These two are soulmates and understand each other on a level that no one else ever could. In typical AJ Sherwood fashion these characters talk through their problems and lean on each other for help while trusting one another completely. While there are hundreds of fires to put out all around them, their love and trust in each other never falters. I know that this is a hefty book but it was extremely engaging from beginning to end. There was a perfect ratio of plot and romance with some really amazing characters, and while the book is written in a historical setting, some of the language that was used was more modern so it wasn’t a difficult read. In fact, I would be happy to continue reading even if the book went on for another 200 pages or more because I really enjoyed the characters and the story. This book is just full of adventure, sweetness, humour, and some really powerful forces that want James and Edwin together almost as much as James and Edwin do.

✨️I received this as an early review copy. These opinions are mine alone. ✨️

This was a great second chance love story. You knew there would be a happy ending by the end because it was deemed so by the God's from the very first chapter of the book. This had the makings to be a great read, but fell flat because of the lack of any form of tension or real conflict. It was evident from the beginning that every thing would go exactly as James wanted.

The writing was great in this, it just lacked complexity. With a book this length you would generally expect page after page of tension or unknowns, but since this was deemed to be an HEA from page 1, you didn't get that.

There was wonderful world building, the characters were great and I truly loved the idea of this story, but I think it would have made a larger impact as a fast paced novella. As a novella this would have definitely hit the mark and been a 5 star read. The almost 600 pages of this book was just page after page of James reliving his life and fixing everything he felt he did wrong, with generally no issues. He just knew what was going to be wrong and exactly how to fix it, so there was no tension, not really any conflict and even the love story went straight from 0 to 100 with no real effort. I think that maybe if he hadn't retained ed his memories of his previous life and just felt the sould deep love he had for Edwin, (like Edwin, he didn't remember anything, just felt in his soul that he was meant to be with James.) this would have been worlds different. I think it would have made the impact the author was going for.

All in all, I enjoyed this book, it was an easy to read, easy to follow story line that had worlds of potential.

⭐️ 3/5

The story of James the King and Edwin, his forever love.

After saving his world, and returning a demon to hell, James dies, as has Edwin. On his way to Paradise, he’s told Edwin won’t be there. He refuses to go without him. Forcing his escorting Angel to call a SUPERVISOR, he requests to go back to the past to set things right for him and Edwin. Wish granted. Though he doesn’t regret his decision, it does seem like he’s given himself an impossible task.

James and Edwin’s relationship was sweet. I liked them together. The story centered around James but Edwin was the stronger character. His care of James gave the story life and color. The book has modern language, but a feudal setting, which at times could be a bit jarring.

The story is peopled with some great characters I really liked and great characters that were throughly unlikable. The author was able to make both the good and the bad compelling. Including a horse named Titan, who stole the show in every page he was on.

I can’t even begin to do a decent review because of spoilers. I’ll just say there was a lot going on. Intrigue, dastardly deeds, royals behaving like children, invested gods, and an epic romance that demanded a Happily Ever After. My only complaint was that the ending seemed rushed.

800 pages is quite a time commitment but this book was well worth it.

oh wow wow wow!! Wow! This story is just epic. Completely unique multiple plot lines twisting and coalescing into one addictive saga!

I lovedddddd James and Edwin. James such epic pining killed me dead, to come back to the love of your life and miss him while you see him my god AJ Sherwood you cut James no slack. I am intimidated by Edwin. Huge heart, so smart and a looker and my god the way he cares for James (inspite of James) I am just awwwing here. James who is dealing with a boat load of trauma when he regresses.

I love the way AJ Sherwood lays out this fantasy. The writing is so unique and cheeky and funny. I was snort laughing through a lot of the inner dialogue. Which is very rare for me when reading books like this. Usually I am blown away by the world building and the action and the quests and the adventure and there is alllllll of that here and more but the writing is smooth and almost conversational and I read for three days straight cause I couldn’t put it down. I cannot do a better job of describing it, you’ll have to read it to experience it.

I mean the nap under the desk was equally touching and swoony and so funny. Which is a great description of James and Edwin’s dynamic - touching and swoony and so funny in parts

I loved the younger royals and Galbraith and the Knights and Glass and oh so many of the other characters.

I loved living in this world , I found it hard to let go once it was done. Highly recommend checking it out.

[TribesReadingObsession · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wasn’t sure what to expect when going into this, the book overview intrigued me alot I had to read it but this would be my first mm romance with no extra female lover interest. And hey I loved it, both mmc were perfection, I throughly enjoyed them both.

This book was written perfectly, in a way that made you become invested in every moment, when a king wins a war but also doesn’t get forever with his love so he fights to regress (do over his life) to help his lover to both obtain paradise in the end.

James is devoted to his love, but also his county, his people. Watching him struggle to achieve what he needs to win a war and devastating trials while maintaining his life choice was hard, but seeing him fight, believe and keep going was perfection. He’s such a smitten kitten.

Edwin is so smart, he’s exactly the right other half for James, he keeps him grounded and looks after him when he’s overwhelmed. The trials that Edwin goes through is incredible to watch as he grows in confidence and strength I throughly enjoyed his growth into an amazing leader.

Overall the characters (even the ones you roll your eyes at), the whole story, the world, the drama, the villains, the goal and end game were all amazing and I loved it all and definitely recommend it to everyone. Will be checking out more written by AJ Sherwood.

[Mandy Britt · Rating 4 out of 5]

​A.J. Sherwood has delivered her most ambitious work to date with The Regressor King, a novel that masterfully weaves high-fantasy stakes with a profound M/M romance. Having tracked this story’s development from its initial Patreon drafts, I found the expanded final version to be a significant achievement in storytelling. The use of time regression introduces a unique emotional weight, as the protagonist, James, must navigate the burden of his memories while stepping into his role as a reluctant leader. His relationship with Edwin serves as the story’s anchor; Edwin’s steady and perceptive nature provides a necessary balance to James’s trauma-informed competence. Together, they navigate a world of meddling gods and political unrest with a level of communication that is truly refreshing for the genre. It is a compelling exploration of choosing love over destiny, punctuated by excellent worldbuilding and a memorable supporting cast. I am grateful to the author for providing an advanced copy of this book; receiving this ARC was a privilege, and all opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

[SFBookReviewer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is an emotionally charged romantasy that makes one thing very clear: Paradise isn’t Paradise without Edwin. Blending high fantasy stakes with a deeply personal M/M romance, it uses time regression in a way that actually hurts—because remembering the past doesn’t make things easier, it just makes the choices heavier. James is a wonderfully written reluctant ruler, shaped by regret, trauma, and hard-earned competence, and his devotion to Edwin is the emotional backbone of the story. Edwin, in turn, is steady, perceptive, and quietly formidable, grounding the chaos around them.

The world is full of sharp edges—meddling gods, court politics, demon kings, and inconveniently timed demon portals—but it never loses sight of its heart. The hurt/comfort is satisfying, the side characters shine (special mention to the best horse to ever live), and the pacing has that addictive, just-one-more-chapter feel inspired by webtoons. This is a story about choosing love over crowns, fate, and even the gods themselves. Fair warning: don’t start it late at night.

[Crystal Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was not sure what to expect when I dove into this best of a book, but I was pleasantly surprised. This was my first book by AJ Sherwood and I am sold.

James is an adopted prince who decides instead of going to paradise he wants to go back in time and help his one true love get to paradise too. He never got to tell Edwin just exactly how he felt, so he wanted a second chance.

This book was full of magic, villains, amazing world building, but the best of all was the love story between James and Edwin. Edwin is brilliant, has a huge heart, and he is handsome.. he was the perfect combo. He isn’t confused as to why the Prince is so interested in him, but for some reason his soul knows James. James still has his memories.

You won’t want to put this book down! You will find yourself cracking up at the inner dialogue. And just swooning over James pining for Edwin. It’s a chunker of a book, but don’t let it scare you away, it’s worth the pages. You will fly through it and not even realize how big it is once you start.

Truly epic

I’ve been waiting for this book for quite a while and it’s everything I hoped for and more. Yes the book is behemoth, but to completely tell the story, I think it had to be. The whole premise of the book, namely regressing back in time to do better, is fascinating and skillfully woven throughout the story in both how it’s addressed and how changes from events rippled outward. James, as the regressed prince/king, is charismatic and forceful in taking charge and driving change, but also fortunate in those he needs to confide in. Edwin is practical and driven in making everything work, as well as in protecting James, even from himself. Their romance shows how their souls remembered each other even as timelines collapsed and emergencies happened with dizzying regularity. The supporting characters (both good and bad) are well fleshed out and helped complete the story. The story is paced perfectly, without either rushing or dragging along. I can see this book becoming a regular favorite to reread.

[Kellys.bookcorner · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a book about a missed opportunity about duty and putting others and duty in front of your wants and needs. As a result suffering cruelty and heartache.

But with a refusal to leave love behind there is another chance, a do over. Between making different choices in life that alter the course of previous experiences, villains and meddling gods James is determined to choosing love over destiny. Even if he needs to watch everything burn.

The unceasing devotion and fated love in this book had me swooning at the main romantic leads. I just love the way that these characters want to protect and care for each other i was invested and rooting for them. It’s refreshing to have the characters communicate well, leaning on each other and expressing their needs.

For a high fantasy book this was such an easy read that was well paced, enough world building that I could picture it. This book also has cosy humor that had me laughing.

ARC Review ✨
The Regressor King

While I do think this book could have been slightly shorter, I absolutely adored reading James and Edwin’s story. Their love felt truly epic—the kind that pulls you in and refuses to let go. Both characters were so easy to fall in love with and even easier to root for, and their journey together completely stole my heart.

I did find myself wishing there had been a bit more of the magical elements woven throughout the story, but even so, the plot kept me engaged from start to finish. The side characters were either utterly charming or delightfully detestable, which made the world feel full and alive.

The writing style was a real standout for me, and I would absolutely love to read more from this author in the future.

💫 A heartfelt, character-driven read with an epic romance at its core.

Why is there not an option to give a book Infinity stars!

This book was amazing, I always love AJ Sherwood's books, but I think this was her best ever. I had previously read this when it was a work in project on her patreon account. Since then she has doubled the size! there are also changes in the story to what was in the first draft and everything just made it so much more amazing!

This book contains everything that I want to read in an mm romance. It is a fantasy novel, with lots of drama that is external to the couple. Wonderful communication between James and Edwin. An extremely intriguing storyline with great supporting characters!

I know this is a standalone, but I hope in the future to see some short stories to see how things are going for this amazing couple!

[Cynthia M Brow · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Regressor King is the story of James and Edwin. I love everything AJ Sherwood has written and this book was no exception. The blurb gives a pretty good idea of what to expect in the story. It doesn't show you how much love and pining the story contains. This is not a quick or short story, so start it when you have plenty of time to read because it will pull you in from the beginning. AJ Sherwood gives us a master class of plot, action, adventure, intrigue, wonderful characters ( good and bad), world building, but most importantly love. I can't forget to mention the house that steals your heart Titan. I wish I could give more than 5 stars but that's all I'm allowed to give. I would definitely recommend this book as a 5 star read.

4.5 stars. A really lengthy story, which definitely needed that many words to be told. In fact, I felt that towards the end, it might have needed a second book just to round up all the plot lines. I really enjoyed the world building, and the sort of reincarnation time travelling was well thought out. It was fairly easy to figure out who was behind a lot of the issues. There were a lot of truly amazing characters, and the love between James and Edwin was wonderful.
