King of Battle and Blood (Adrian X Isolde Book 1)

Product Information

I understand that this book is now well beloved by many but you guys cannot tell me that this had a decent plot.

Isolde must come to terms with her extraordinary heritage and harness her powers, while Adrian must lead his people in the fight against rising darkness.Full details of your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations are available in the UK from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or your Local Authority's Trading Standards Office.

The true stars of this book though are the characters, and mainly the lady protagonist’s development.It was also really frustrating knowing what was going on before the main characters and watching them fumble around the truth. Oh I’m a princess of a country but I’m like not a normal princess or girl because I’ve been trained to fight and I can handle myself and I’m capable.

There's no way any royal would allow this because at the end of the day his opinion on their personal life doesn't matter.

I was promised enemies to lovers but all I see is insta-lust (and oh boy do I hate this) Isolde supposedly hated him while he 'loved' her for absolutely no reason but yk going at it means nothing . This book would have really hit the mark for me if that part of the plot had been cut, or simply rewritten to show Isolde being altruistic and understanding, despite the petty drama around her. SSC character's, to me, seem to lack any depth or substance or actual personality to make them stand out and make me connect with them.

However I must say this, the author toes the line of gratuitous smut overshadowing the plot, and she does it pretty well, remembering that she does actually have a story to tell and not getting completely carried away with the erotica bits of her novel (there would be nothing wrong with that per se, it just wouldn’t be my thing). I didn’t have super high expectations going in, but I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Amidst the chaos, he encounters Isolde, a fierce and enigmatic woman with mysterious powers that she doesn't fully comprehend. She has a Master's degree in Library Science and Information Studies and a Bachelors in English Writing. And although I now hate that series, I have to say that Jennifer Armentrout did a better job with the characters.The series follows the two main characters, Adrian and Isolde, as they embark on a journey filled with magic, destiny, and danger.
