I read ACOTAR a couple of years ago, and (unsurprisingly) found it painfully.. nothing. It wasn’t awful enough to cause anger or upset, but it definitely wasn’t trashy enough to be enjoyable. The romance was bland and at times troubling, the mc was dense, the world simple. The smut, below mediocre. Fine, I can see how someone could have fun with it, but even calling the book ‘trash’ seems offensive. At least trashy novels can be fun. This really was just *nothing*.
It’s a shame. Because the premise is so simple, it would’ve been so easy to make it a fun read. So I’m here to ask, are there similar books that are good? Fantasy, fae, good romance. Idm about smut, I enjoy it but Im also happy reading something that doesn’t contain it. I read ‘Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries’ last year, and it made me want to return to the world of fae (a great fun little book). So is there anything that suits this?? Many thanks 🙂
