The fmc is giving me a mental breakdown...

The protagonist feels kind of insufferable.

Wtf is with the last books I read and the unlikeable characters? And are we sure this book WASN'T written by a teenage boy? Because I am 14 miserable pages in and all it's been is "I'm just turning 17 and I'm hot and all the girls like me and I've had sex with them all. I'm the best at sex. And did I say I'm hot and good in bed?"

The story seems interesting so far, but ughhh the fmc is driving me insane already, I don't like her... I don't know if she will grow on me or at least be bearable enough to go on...

Umh... is it just me or do the two mcs have 0 chemistry??

I did not expect this book to be 800 pages....

I AM SO INVESTED. It's only been 3 chapters but I am loving it. The kind of loving it where you almost don't want to keep reading just in case everything gets ruined.

Ok, no. La trama sonaba re interesante peroooo... wtf fue ese primer capitulo que leì? YA? Lo categorizaría más bien para children si no fuese por el "chistecito" subidito de tono y lo calentón del mc1.
Voy a darle una oportunidad porque no parece largo ni complicado, pero si fuese solo por lo que vi en el primer capítulo? DNF de una. 🫥

"Ro is an intelligent woman,"
... IS SHE though. Lol

Liking:
- The story
- How the two character's interact when they first meet
- The cottagecore vibes
- Plantsssssssssssssss

Not Liking:
- 3rd person present (shudders)
- Pretentious writing
- Pretentious Rosemary
- Ro being a Walking Lit Academic Stereotype
- Just Rosemary, I guess, lol

🤷‍♀️:
- I can see it's quite predictable, but if you read the blurb, nothing's really hidden...

Lo que si, la traducción española si que me está matando. Por eso se hacen neutrales, ¿eh?
No puedo con un príncipe fae supuestamente super hotttttt y super enojado que de repente diga "me estás tocando las narices." 🤣

It's not bad, feels a little bit like the author went: "Boy, I really like writing about vampires, but faes are what's in right now. So I guess I will write vampires and call them fae."
Which isn't necessarily bad, but the fae aren't vibing much like fae to me. lol I mean- killed by stakes or decapitation, sharp fangs, pale/silver skin... sounds more like a vamp. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm mad at Bo in so many different levels lol

La verdad que no está muy bien editado, encontré varios errores que medio me sacaron de la lectura pero fuera de eso, hasta ahora, entretenido.

What is this book? So far it's been 20% of "I don't like nanowrimo but I like nanowrimo but I don't like nanowrimo but I like nanowrimo, but I don't. But I do."

"People who enjoy a cozy mystery of the Aghata Christie type, simply don't want to find out it was an alien from the planet Zog who murdered Lord Edgware."
I mean, I don't know. That still sounds cool to me.

"Just because someone left a 1-star review doesn't mean the book is bad or not worth reading, only that the book didn't meet that reader's expectations." While this is good to remember, she immediatelly follows it up with "(Or, as I've seen with several Reverse Harem authors, the reader hate-reads the genre just to leave bad reviews, as they know there's no chance of them liking the book.)" .. how often this happens?

Not sure how I feel about the quote "That's not always the case, but I've found that a lot of the people willing to 1-star a book without regard to the author are going to be impossible to please."

Not looking good so far. I was 4 chapters in and a lot of characters had been introduced unnecessarily early, before I knew why knowing all these people were important at all, a lot had been told and very very little shown. I had zero connection to anyone and anything that was going on. In fact, even when characters actually started more actively talking to each other, I still had zero connection to anything.
