A Court This Cruel and Lovely

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.

I would recommend the writing, but NOT this narration. Both the female and male reader's voices were SUPER cheezy and commercial, VERY akward! The narration changes between female/male depending on the POV of the chapter, and instead of pairing both readers together they made the female and male reader interpret the other gender's/characters' lines SO BADLY. The woman reads the female as if she is on the verge of crying the whole time, even when describing plain surroundings, yet the spicy scenes she makes to feel lifeless, maybe because the listener is used to the constant moaning and trembling voice by then. And the male voices she makes are like a pre-teen little brother who has grabbed your book from your hands to read mockingly with his high-pitched child voice some spicy scenes out loud with the only reference being a cunning Disney Villain. I ended up hating some of the key characters just because the reader made them sound so unbearably annoying. The man's take of a female voice was super cringe. It reminded me of old sketch shows, back in the days when it was enough for men to throw on a dress and raise their voice extremely high-pitch to play a woman to be 'funny'. And the spicy scenes he reads as if he is selling kitchen knives on TV-Shop. Please avoid, if you want to like this book.

Very good storyline. Not gonna lie and say it's original but it's entertaining enough.
