But it also leads to a fundamental problem in the romance arc: Are these two people forming a unique connection…or would they feel this way about literally anybody? I may have read this book in a day, but that was more out of if I don't finish it now, I never will. While I was still figuring out how this could end, I got a face slapped with the answer in the most surprising way. I had hopes it would turn out differently somehow but it was a theory from the very beginning, considering he literally had been drinking vampire blood for years. I believe I would have enjoyed King more if I hadn't read Lord because I would have been a little more surprised.

I haven't read the first book in this universe, so my lack of knowledge about the world may be because of that. We see two vampires, one of which is I think to be a vampire witch and the other is the original vampire, meeting with Arlo, Faenir and Auriol. I was lucky enough to have been sent an arc of Ben Andersons upcoming fantasy book, and the next installment of the Darkmourn series: King of Immortal Tithe.The politics are incredibly boring and predictable, and I was able to see everything coming from a mile away. He is everything a strong, fierce, sassy bottom should be, with his own motivations and secrets aplenty.

Like, when I read the very last sentence of King and completely finished the book, I did brust out laughing. The story was really good in the beginning and had a lot going for it but around 30% I was bored and already knew what was going on story wise and was guessing what was going to happen. Arlo finds himself tangled in a web of secrecy, family politics and unbridled magic when he comes face to face with the impending doom. Unable to resist the human, Faenir kidnaps him to Evelina, but his family does not take this in stride.

Even though Ben creates a new world with new rules and lore as per usual in fantasy books, the world building and also the driving plot points aren’t too complicated or twisted.

This was fucked up and twisted in a way it shouldn't have been and left me disgusted with the characters. It should have been a little less pointless descriptions and trying too hard to be a legit fantasy and more of improving the building of the emotional climaxes and the quality of the sex scenes (I'm usually not looking into that much but since I'm at it, why not mention this too).

It took all of four pages before Arlo was sobbing in Faenir's arms and all his reason's for not liking Faenir are forgotten. You wouldn't want to walk out without any clothes on and looking like well, looking like you did what you just did. It is a nice stand alone, MM fantasy retelling based on Hades and Persephone; although it does tie into LoEN nicely. The first book was okay but I enjoyed it enough to continue the series but after this train wreck 💀 i won't.I didn't care when Faerin embraced his dark side and was like "fuck it, I'll show them what a mostser they made me". There were so many things that I didn't like about it that before the ending arc started, I was going to give this book three stars.

So many questions I had were left unanswered or things just didn’t make sense plot wise for the political aspects here. Alderson jednak nie lubi siedzieć w miejscu, w swej kontynuacji postanowił zmienić wszystko: od chemii między bohaterami, poprzez słowa, których używa, i tylko uniwersum zdołało się zachować.
