The Half King by Melissa Landers delivers a fantastic romantasy that checks all the boxes for a longer book. The world building is expertly woven into Cerise's point of view, so as she discovers the rules of her new surroundings, so is the reader. This definitely keeps the reader invested in the story, since it's not one info dump that can happen with longer novels. There are plenty of places where the tension keeps a reader turning the pages to find out what happens next, and the quest-style narrative gives a familiar backdrop to an intriguing concept. A refreshing romantasy that hits in all the right ways. Read more

Talk about a fantasy that's easy to get swept up in! The world building was very well done! I almost didn't even realize it was happening cause it flowed so well with the plot! The characters are introduced so well and are easy to love! Blue might be my favorite, though 😉 I thought for sure this was going to be a standalone right up until those last few sentences. Can't wait to see what happens next! Read more

I could not put this down and I fear it’s leaving me in a slump. This book had an interesting magic system, well written world building and believable characters that are easy to relate to. Our FMC grows in character a lot throughout the story, we get to see her struggles of religion when it affects her personal feeling, the struggles between what’s right and how she feels. (Getting big religion vs politics vibes throughout) This book is a very slow burn fantasy romance with so much extra thrown in there. It does have some spice but that doesn’t take away from the story. It has adventure, action and mystery. The twists this book throws you through are wild, it really keeps you on your toes! I cannot wait for book 2 ! Read more

I returned due this book is really bad quality for the price..i prefer to go for an ebook. Edges are faded and the first pages are like photocopies …..Doesn’t worth the price. Read more

It was a quick read for me. It was well written and so was the story. I enjoyed the plot, the characters and the setting. Cerise's journey was great. She grew to understand her creator better than all those before her all while proving herself worthy above others. The King was a delightful mystery. Daerick was a quick and true friend, who was fun and just what Cerise needed. I really enjoyed this book. Read more
