The Broken Elf King by Leia Stone

So, I dove into this elf-centric fantasy romance with high hopes, but boy, did it leave me feeling conflicted! 🧝‍♂️ While I appreciated the unique premise and the promise of elfin intrigue, the execution fell short. The characters felt underdeveloped, the plot repetitive, and the worldbuilding lacking. Plus, unresolved plot threads left me feeling unsatisfied. Despite its flaws, it's a quick read with moments of enjoyment. Just don't expect a deep dive into elven lore! ⚔️📚 My rating: 3/5 stars

This book took me by surprise! 💔It isn't your typical romance—it's a deep dive into a toxic relationship between Magnolia and BJ. Their dysfunction is palpable, and the narrative's stream of consciousness style adds an intriguing layer. While I devoured most of it, the ending felt a bit drawn out. Still, a compelling read that challenges the idea of love. 4/5 stars! 📖💔
