House of Lies and Sorrow: Fae of Rewyth Book 1

Product Information

I also took issue with the way the FMC kept referring to the MMC as "my husband" as though that should negate the fact that they don't really know, like or trust each other and that she should automatically be attracted to him. Her character had such potential to be a strong female role model but it was wasted in misogyny. All of the characters, including herself, treated her like she was her husband's property. I kept hoping for a defining character moment for her to step up and show some personal growth and for her to take control of her life but all I got was her stewing over how weak she was and how she couldn't possibly take on a fae. As she tries to unravel the mystery of who killed her mentor, she is also forced to confront her own feelings for Kynto, a handsome human soldier who is fighting for the other side. Lily’s life is turned upside down when her grandfather dies and she is left to deal with her grandmother’s Alzheimer’s. As she struggles to keep her family together, Lily must also contend with the machinations of her ex-boyfriend, who is determined to ruin her life. Brianna Baker as Tess Symington, Green Point owner, Dungeons & Dragons player and briefly Doug's girlfriend

House of Lies and Sorrow by Emily Blackwood, Paperback

Lastly the “slow burn” didn’t feel like a slow burn. There were enough moments to build up to a true connection between these two for me. It seemed like Mal’s growing feelings made sense but Jades really didn’t for me and when they finally share a physical moment the communication from Jade didn’t feel true to character. The time line of the book is all over the place. It would have benefitted from someone writing out a time line of events and asking "does this make sense". The wedding day is a great example. We start at pre-dawn, take a potion to go to sleep for 2 hours, spend time getting ready for the wedding, a very short wedding happens, at the beginning of reception it is stated they won't stay long, three songs are danced to, a few short conversations, and now it is midnight? Meet our heroine, Jade. Sure she’s a badass (she must be since she’s stubborn and has a temper) but our girl has zero autonomy here. Every single thing that happens in this book happens to or around her. If she’s such a badass she should be making things happen for herself. But all she does is make decisions that put her right in harms way. There are a few things that make this house special. First, it is one of the oldest houses in the neighborhood and has a lot of history. Second, it is very well-maintained and has a lot of character. Third, it is located on a quiet street with little traffic. What is your favorite memory of the house? Valorie Curry as Kelsey, a confident computer programmer who both Clyde and Doug chase romantically

I think this would have benefitted from having an editor do at least one pass. There are typos and grammar mistakes, but there were also issues with the timeline staying straight that really took me out of the story. For example, we see something happen and then several days (and chapters) later, someone refers to it as happening “a few hours ago”. This is a fantasy book that you cannot help but compare to ACOTAR. The similarities are glaring. Except this world, as fantastical as it is, never quite cements itself as a truly realized place. And I think a lot of that has to do with the language choices our characters make. Half of the time, they speak as colloquially as we do, and the other half they’re trying to speak in that fantasy way - you know what I mean. Make up your mind! The exposition could’ve been filled with more description of the world and of the characters. Even now, having read the whole thing, I only vaguely know what some of the characters look like. Do not ask me for an accurate rendering of the setting. I also didn’t really like the casual sexism. We’re supposed to believe that the MC is a Strong Female Protagonist, but there are several lines like “she didn’t stand a chance because she was just a girl”. This happens both with the MC and with her only female ally. Also, in every dangerous situation the MC finds herself in, despite having a knife and claiming she knows how to use it, she always gets overpowered before she has any chance to defend herself and needs to be saved by the LI.
