Description

One stunning bride.One wedding.One night with the king.One execution come morning.Rinse and repeat.When the fae king of Naenden returns home to his palace only to find that his human queen has committed treason by conspiring to assassinate him, he has the queen executed and decrees that once every mooncycle, he'll marry a human woman from the kingdom, only to execute her the following morning.Unless...Unless one woman offers herself as a sacrificial bride for the rest.Asha isn't worried about being chosen, of course. The decree was quite clear about beauty being among the top criteria for being selected as one of the king's unfortunate brides. And Asha is no beauty, all thanks to the illegal magic that inhabits her body, leaving her scarred and missing an eye. The same magic that occasionally possesses her voice so it can amuse itself by telling a never-ending story with a string of horrible cliffhangers.The problem is, Asha might not be a beauty, but her sister Dinah is. When Asha realizes Dinah is in danger of being selected as the king's sacrificial bride, Asha decides she can't live with that risk. So she offers herself instead.Except on the night of their wedding, the king grants Asha a final request.Naturally, she asks to tell her sister one last bedtime story.Naturally, the king eavesdrops.The question is...Will the story save her life...or ruin it?A tale of love and betrayal, vengeance and sacrifice, magic and romance, this imaginative retelling of 1,001 Nights will keep you guessing with each turn of the page.

Meh

Es passierte einfach nichts, die Romance kam aus dem Nichts (nicht im positiven Sinne) und es hat sich einfach alles gezogen. Die Charaktere waren farblos und langweilig, keinerlei Chemie zwischen irgendjemandem, kein world building.

Sehr gutes Buch mit interessanten Entwicklungen und auch Twists, die ich so nicht vorher gesehen habe ☺️

I really thought it would be spicier but apparently I haven't done enough research. Although it lacked the smut it really suprised me about yet another idea of a fae story that didn't let me feel I'm always reading the same. In the middle of the book it repeatedly had me bored. But after continuing it gave me another plot twist. I'm not regretting reading it although it's more of a young adult book because of the little hints of sexy scenes but no actual spice.

Naja. Ich hatte irgendwie etwas anderes erwartet und war bis zur Hälfte oder länger ziemlich genervt von den ständigen Wiederholungen, nicht nur einzelne Worte. Eigentlich will ich schon wissen wie es weiter geht, aber ich die Nerven für die Fortsetzung habe, wird sich zeigen 😂

Sehr gutes Buch aber die Reihe scheint etwas unnötig lang mal schauen ob ich sie noch lesen werde

I really loved the beginning and the idea of the story. But the end had to many twists and conspiracy’s for my liking. But the second and third book look promising so I will try these as well.
