#fmc is tstl

[staciass]

I’m admitting defeat.

Yeah sorry folks this one crept up on me. Once you notice something, a pattern you can’t unsee it and too much of THAT was going on with our fmc Reyna. She was just too fucking stupid. Like does she even survive to like 20- or however old she is supposed to be she acts like she’s fucking 13 !!!!

Someone say “don’t do this it is dangerous for you” - she doesssss ittttt

Someone says “don’t do it you will die” and so she does it whilst be like YeAh I’m LiKe SoOoO BaDaSs FuCkKkKk EvErYoNe eLsE !!!’ I can’t even.

And you wanna know something else? I’m like 95% done with this book, I’m not even kidding there are like 2 chapters left but I can’t do it. She’s beyond moronic at this point like I just NO !!!

Just Me Gushing over the Elf Tangent with Spoilers

Like the title says this is mostly going to be me gushing over the Elf Tangent by Lindsay Buroker. I love this book especially the side characters Setvik and Theli. I won’t lie. I thought Theli was an idiot at first but she grew on me. Setvik was just the kind of character I was looking for, which is to say an assholish elf with a superiority complex. I really hope the author gives him his own book in the future.  

I’ve unfortunately been sick again for the fourth time in the last 2 months and with the holidays, it’s only now that I’ve had the energy or time to listen to this book. It was good and I do recommend it to anyone who wants a good clean elf romance besides the Elven Alliance series without the MMC having PTSD. The FMC Princess Aldari is good at math and solving puzzles, which is why the MMC Hawk kidnaps her to help his people find away to stop the cursed beings his people call the Twisted. Aldari was a fun character to follow as was Hawk who gets hurt later and gets cared for by Aldari for a little bit. Their banter was definitely better than the sometimes meh conversations of Essie and Farrendel in the Elven Alliance series. I appreciate that the characters didn’t just end up married by the end. I also appreciate that Hawk didn’t get handsy with Aldari, but that doesn’t mean no one got handsy with anyone. Theli gets groped by an elf mercenary and later has her shirt ripped open by a pirate. Hawk tried his best to be nice to Aldari despite having to unfortunately kidnap her on the way to her wedding to a Prince of a neighboring kingdom.  

The plot had a lot of tension and action with a sense that the Twisted were very much a threat. The Elf Princess Hysithea was turned into one, which is partially why Hawk is so desperate to stop them. This character actually has her own book, which I’m not liking to be honest. She’s too impulsively reckless and boarderline TSTL.  

Theli and Setvik end up shacking up despite the fact he’s probably 20 something years older than her. I’m actually quite happy they seemed to end up together. I just want them to have their own book or even a book following Setvik and later the other mercenaries on missions over the 20 years they spent away from their kingdom and in the human kingdoms. He likes her singing and even is okay with her portraying him as a villain in her ballads, which is cute. 

If anyone can recommend more elf romances that would be great or if anyone wants elf/other fantasy romances you’re welcome to ask.  

My posts are usually about whatever I want to write about but I’m now trying my hand at writing about the books I like or don’t and maybe about the Irish language I’m trying to learn. Dia daoibh. Go raibh maith agat.

Notes:

Fantasy, Historical Romance

Reincarnation plot-line

MMC is tyrant-ish, threatens FMC with death. He is violent.

MMC may be a woman hater.

Interesting plot. FMC is independent in her circumstance. Is not TSTL.

D’Ya know what, I’m low-key obsessed with this book.

I mean … it’s not perfect or even exceptional writing or lyrical and enchanting but I like the FMC she hasn’t done anything TSTL yet … lmao and the MMC is a bit clueless but it’s chalked down to the fact that the Vampires have a whole different culture I guess !?

It can be just so freaking cute, lighthearted, funny, sweet and spicy and cool all at the same time. I am honestly hooked, I love it !!!
