plus this is a standalone in a series, and while i'm sure the series adds context, i read this without reading the previous books and understood most of it!!...more
captivating, addictive, vaguely interesting, almost unique at times! was this a good book? truly i don't know, because i barely remember it 2 days latcaptivating, addictive, vaguely interesting, almost unique at times! was this a good book? truly i don't know, because i barely remember it 2 days later, but i do know that it was fun and exciting while i was reading it, and that's what matters.
there were so many random plot twists, and i cannot for the life of me tell who is in this harem, but it was an adventure for sure!! so many questions. i will def be keeping an eye out for book 2.
i also found it really interesting that one of her men had been cursed to be ugly (smell really bad, greasy hair 24/7, etc) but without the stereotypical "ugly" features from normal curses - so different to usual which was very appreciated, i want to get more content from him. ...more

“He loved her dangerously, viciously, and beautifully.”
Oh this was just too much fun. Such an enjoyable, lighthearted, quick read - I loved every page, and was truly swept up into this fast paced adventure full of loveable characters (loveable enough I’m actually planning to read the spinoffs ?!), men who are absolute simps, happy endings and a bit of spice. For my girlies who need a break from angst!! And this is a bold claim, but I truly believe that this Flynn lived up to the Flynn name - he gave off enough Flynn Rider vibes to really hit the spot. And that is a high, high compliment.
“What kind of pirate would I be if I let somebody steal what is mine?”
Our fmc was a cutie patootie indeed - ready to do what she had to to protect her family, but dreaming of adventure and escapes from 1800s London. I thought she was such a bright, easy to enjoy protagonist, and humorous too. Her banter with our mmc was just too cute - they had such a fun vibe going with so much chemistry, they constantly made me giggle.
“You are mine, Princess. Mine to heal, mine to serve, mine to protect, and above all else, mine to love. Whatever you ask, it will never be too much.”
Our mmc was the perfect book boyfriend for an easy read like this one - protective, funny, trying-to-overthrow-the-monarchy-and-save-the-peoples-Robin-Hood-style, plus a massive simp! We always love a dark haired pirate who’s fully obsessed and devoted to our fmc without any drama. The dream!
“She was his own constellation. She was his way home. She was home. Perhaps it was him that had fallen prey to her. Because whether she knew it or not, she was his to protect, but he belonged to her entirely.”
Overall, this was just pure pleasure and fun. I truly had the time of my life, and I need more of these low-stress romantic adventures!! Thank you so much to the author and NetGalley for the ARC copy!...more

3.5 stars
this book was crazy!! our fmc was so different to the usual romantasy heroine (no hate though because god knows i eat up the traditional heroines too) - she was centuries old, she was queer as hell, and she was kickass af but it made sense because she'd actually been training for 100+ years. i loved her!!
“a broken heart is easier to mend than a destroyed kingdom. if sinead wasn’t prepared to lose me, she would’ve given me an easier job.”
our mmcs were equally unique - i truly didn't know what to think about cas for the first 70%-ish of the book, but he was definitely fascinating. and rane ranged between scary and hot - i cannot wait to see him form an even closer relationship with tenele. and the plot-twist switch up between these three... craziness, and made me adore this book so much more.
“she tasted familiar. it was as if he’d had her a million times before. she tasted like moonlight and madness and… divinity. like holy water without the agonizing burn, and he wanted more.”
the plot was also quite strong - i will admit that there was one section where i didn't really know what was going on, but that was probably on me for reading while exhausted. once the plot really started coming together, it was unique and had so many working parts and sides to the story - i didn't know who to trust or support!! which is just how i like it.
overall, this was such a strong debut, with fascinating and well-written characters, gorgeous queer rep, plot-twists, and crazy shenanigans - so addictive!! thank you so much to the author, publisher, and netgalley for the arc copy....more

I did finish it in a day, but I also have no positive feelings or opinions on the characters. Our fmc wasn’t half bad but damn she was a bit boring, and a few of the mmcs were sweet but eh I’m apathetic. And the other mmcs?? Rude, disrespectful, sexist dickheads for most of the book, and I did not vibe with it. “Oh but all the insults and verbal abuse were to protect you” get a better excuse because that one is lame as hell.

this book absolutely hit the spot for a light, easy, low-stakes romcom!! it was so much fun – the characarc provided in exchange for an honest review.
this book absolutely hit the spot for a light, easy, low-stakes romcom!! it was so much fun – the characters had the best banter and such a gorgeous development from rivals to almost-friends to absolutely in love. i loved the soft fantasy, with fae with fascinating unseelie forms, and unique magic. for once, the mmc didn’t have lightning or killing powers of anything – my baby had the cutest, unexpected power!
and while the plotline did have the underlying ridiculous plot of a battle to see who’s better at seducing (and when both characters are fully obsessed with one another), i didn’t mind it at all, and had a lot of fun with the low-stakes but nonetheless exciting adventures. the characters were utterly loveable, and overall this was just pure fun, swoonworthy pleasure. thank you to the author, publisher, netgalley for the arc!

honestly, this book was like a combo between broken bonds and plier. i wasn't completely sure how to feel about the mmcs - like plier, some of them seemed apathetic half the time, and that was kinda devastating. but i did adore the few that had strong feelings for our girl - even if they were negative feelings!!
and i adored our fmc, she was so strong and had a gorgeous personality, plus i loved her tight bond with her friends. also the non-binary rep was so good to read!! sometimes the issue with rh books is that the fmc has no friends (especially female friends), but luckily that wasn't the case here.
the plot twists were especially shocking, but that was alright because the plot was still good fun, and i just could not put this book down. so easy to obsess over!!...more
