Beschreibung

A defiant human woman. A dark fae Prince. Two enemies bound to a marriage that could destroy their world.
Reyna was born a valuable slave to the Gold Court, imprisoned her whole life in a glittering palace by sadistic, greedy fae.
When the palace is raided, she takes her opportunity to escape. But the raid is led by her worst nightmare. The Prince of the most feared fae of all; the Shadow Court. And he wants one thing.
Her. The copper-haired, rune-marked human.

Reyna doesn’t know why the Prince has kidnapped her. But when he announces her as his betrothed, she knows that she must escape before she is eternally bound to the monster behind the mask.
Only, when he takes the mask off, he isn’t what she expects. He’s lethal, beautiful and exudes sin. And he needs her.
Drawn into a deadly world shrouded in secrets, and desperate to keep her own hidden, Reyna must find a way out. If she doesn’t, she risks more than just death. She risks giving everything to her intoxicating captor.
This is the first book in the Shadow Bound Queen series, and is inspired by Norse mythology and Vikings. Sexy fae Vikings. It has strong Hades and Persephone/Beauty and the Beast vibes, and is slow-burn enemies to lovers fantasy romance. The series builds in steam and is filled with magic, myth, and delicious tension.
Brides of Mist and Fae is a brand new world from Eliza Raine, unconnected to the Dark Gods of Olympus.

Nothing I loved, but also nothing I hated.

Was this the best thing I've ever read? No. Was it enough to hold my attention while I was reading it? Kinda. When I put the book down I didn't think twice about these characters and this world, which isn't a good sign. But, while I was reading it it held my attention as well as it could. I liked the magic system and world building, but the plot didn't get started until the very end of the book. The oacing is off, and I feel like we spend too much time with mindless tasks than actually get the plot started. Nevertheless, I will be picking up the second book and see where the series goes!

The story is a bit rough around the edges. Things happen too fast and it feels as though the author has tried to just check off all the tropes in the list. The characters and their motives and emotions are not very elaborate. Some elements of the story seem forced and not very credible.

I liked this book. The FMC is feisty and mysterious and I can’t really foresee what is to come - which is very nice! I hope I get to see more character development and more world building. The MMC is a shadow daddy and I would love to know more about him. The first book needed 50 pages more for my taste. The plot stays very much on one level not really allowing its readers to dive deep into the story. Maybe that will change. The magic system is very unique - and I want to know more. Let’s see what book 2 will do :) Recommend? Yes. Must-Read? No.
