Summary
For years, when I fell asleep, I dreamed of a man with blazing green eyes and a cruel smile. The day I meet him, the ruthless mercenary leaves me for dead.
Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae.
The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned.
When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment.
Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden—the power that may just be the key to my survival.
But the ruthless mercenary is hiding secrets of his own, secrets that threaten the safety of everyone I love, that could tear this kingdom—and perhaps even this world—apart.
Please note: A Court This Cruel and Lovely is an NA/adult romantasy book with steam. While this series is slow burn, the chili-pepper rating will increase for each book.

Great story
Well narrated, enjoyable if a little clichéd plot, looking forward to the rest of the series though as there's a lot of potential.

Very enjoyable
This is a great Fantasy book that isn't too focused on romance. It has the allure of a "will they-won't they" and some steamy scenes but mostly focuses on the main characters past, present and future.
It's an enjoyable listen that keeps you guessing so I don't want to give too much away so it suffices to say that I look forward to book 2

Amazing book
Had a little hard for the female teller in the beginning but after a couple of chapters was it no problem 🥰 Could not stop listening in the second half ♥️

Best Narrator
I read this book purely because I'd listened to the Hades and Persephone books by the same narrator. Luckily, it turned out to be an amazing read! If you like Throne of Glass by SJ Mass, you'll love this!

fabulous book
so, iv read the books, and decided to audio it again to prep me for the 3rd book release as a quick re read. now this is one of my favourite series... however I advise to kindle read it. I found, listening.. entires chapters are missed out in the audible. the whole process of her readying her disguise to enter the castle was cut out etc. so it lost depth because of that..
the female narrator is okay, her reading is clear .but I felt some emotion was left out. I found reading it far more gripping as the narration was a little mono tone.
but please read it.. its a brilliant series. the narration does not do this justice.
