Bow Before the Elf Queen

The push and pull between the characters and the pent up tension between them was equally frustrating but interesting.

Not only that, but it wasn't really enemies imo, the dialogue was VERY cliche and contrived. This book felt way too YA and way too similar to every other YA book out there. There was literally nothing new. J.M Kearls writing is sublime. Even though the plot had a fast pace to it, it didn't feel like you missed any details. I had anxiety for the characters and found myself wanting to yell and throw my kindle across the room! After you tried to kill me, you think I should give you weapons? Should I hand over my balls on a platter as well?” “As if you have any.” I wanted to love this so much I was pretty sure I'd end up hating it, and while I didn't look loathe it in the end, I felt a bit betrayed. There is so much more world building and some amazing side characters like Tif and Leif who add just the right amount of humor and loyalty to the story.A defiant human woman. A dark fae Prince. Two enemies bound to a marriage that could destroy their world. This book made me so mad, I can't even begin to describe how I'm feeling about it. Before I finished this book, I was going to watch Over The Hedge, and write this review after I'd had two fun things done in a row. The first was supposed to be this book, the second, the movie. But this book caused me so much rage. Layala and Thane learn what it truly means to fight for love as their enemies surround them and it becomes a struggle for revenge, the kingdom, and finding the truth about why Layala seems to harbor the power of whether Palenor falls into darkness or if her Lightbringer name holds true.

Bow Before the Elf Queen - Goodreads

I has trouble deciding whether the characters had a distinct personality or they simply weren't characterized all that well. Ah, there goes my virginity. The Kings elite guards at it again just dropping panties left and right out in these dusty mountains. I haven’t even touched on the glorious world building this book had. I can’t believe this is indie published because the quality of writing and level of detail was magnificent! But if you want to stay, I promise I’ll love you so fiercely that they will write sonnets about our love. I will tear this world apart for you, I will fight until I have nothing left to give and destroy anyone who hurts you, and I will guard your heart most of all. Just, please, wake up.” She also became really irrational and the stupid plot about her ex and her powers became a tiring excuse of creating “””angst””” and not let the main characters be together after the first 25% of the plot. Stuff like the stone and looking for the dragon shifter sorceress never paid off or made for filler and a boring time.If you are craving an adventure this series is for you!! The witty humorous banter between the MC’s and their character group is **chefs kiss**!!! There’s Magic, Villains, Dragons, Sirens, Mystery, Elves, humor, action and adventure. I love their group so much and the gnome, Tifapine…. Has my heart.

Bow Before the Elf Queen Quotes by J.M. Kearl - Goodreads Bow Before the Elf Queen Quotes by J.M. Kearl - Goodreads

This was just.. bland. It felt like a mash up of a bunch of other popular fantasy books. The characters had zero personality/chemistry with each other (especially the two mc’s) the writing was decent but the story was just meh. Fans of the ‘Throne of Glass’ series will love this! Book #1 in the Elf Queen series was an epic adventure that had it all… Book #2 took it to A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF EPICNESS!!! I love you, Laya, and I will wait for an eternity, no matter if I see you again in this life or the next." There where some things I felt could of made this story even better… but even still I thoroughly enjoyed reading! Thane is a brute force with magic and is a complete cinnamon roll but definitely has the “touch my mate and ⚔️ going” 😂
