About this deal
My initial thoughts are that it was a little too long, and it could have been cut down by like ~75 pages, but the cliffhanger was AMAZING! On a more positive note, the sexual tension and smut between Raina and Alexus was very, very well done.
i loved the witch collector, which was already delicious and innovative for the genre, but city of ruin is truly next level. I loved Raina and Alexus’ relationship in the first book, and they were still adorable and strong in this one, but there were some elements romance-wise that I was not the biggest fan of. Every city landscape/architectural structure, room, article of clothing, tree branch, and speck of dirt was described EXTENSIVELY, and I was starting to skim and think I might DNF this book (a book that I had been looking forward to reading for months). Now, the Prince of the East has taken the Frost King as a pawn in his war against the Summerlands, causing Alexus’s life to hang in the balance.FULLY FUNCTIONING BLUETOOTH SPEAKER ] - Ignoring her nasty personality, Alexus actually makes a decent Bluetooth speaker!
A half star gets given for the non horny bits when the story felt like it was going somewhere other than in Raina’s vagina, and the ending because it seems that was the most interesting bit of all, unfortunately.Lovingly crafted by an independent family business who's main goal is to spread joy through unique creations. Like, we could have managed fine with just the prince/colden/fleurie and the other 3 couples (raina, alexus, neri, nephele, rhonin, hel). It’s laughable that this book has a YA genre tag but not erotica… It felt like 2/3 of it was sex with just a smidge of fantasy. There were a lot of new powers that were introduced, but I feel like i still don't understand the difference between sifting, portalling, and realm walking.
