Queen of Myth and Monsters (Adrian X Isolde, 2)

"I am of the House of Lara, daughter of Elvira of Nailani, sister of witches, and I have come to reclaim my crown."

Isolde, newly coronated queen, has finally found a king worthy of her in the vampire Adrian. But their love for each other has cost Isolde her father and her homeland. With two opposing goddesses playing mortals and vampires against one another, Isolde is uncertain who her allies are in the vampire stronghold of Revekka.

Now, as politics in the Red Palace grow more underhanded, inexplicable monster attacks plague the villages, and a deadly crimson mist threatens all of Cordova, Isolde must trust in the bond she's formed with Adrian, even as she learns troubling information about his complicated past.

The next book in the scorching, bingeable vampire fantasy series by USA Today and international bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair.

Their relationship felt to off to me. He kinda began to feel like a man written by a man. I do like that everyone feels like a villain and there’s no “we are the good guys” arc

There is no coming back from this failure of a book - just let this series die.

There is absolutely zero substance to this book. The world it is set in is not thought out or at all interesting. The existence of witches and vampires feels like a halfhearted attempt to stray away from the fey craze. None of the characters are likable or in any way admirable. In fact, I deeply hate each of the characters. Even the sex scenes are completely bad!

When I saw that I was 81% of the way through, I thought I would cry because I still had 19% to go and the thought of giving this book any more of my attention felt unbearable, even though I soldiered through it. After having read other books by the author, I feel deeply disappointed that this was brought to publish by her and her editors. I can detect no amount of love or caring or joy that was put into the making of this book.

It was an unsatisfying read, nothing was concluded and so many battles are being fought on so many fronts. I am curious to where this story goes, I am curious to if the series will be completed. Isolde is one of my favorite characters but her strengths from book one were minimized into grief, anger and fear in book 2. Overall I'm disappointed.

Audiobook listen. A thrilling follow up! I can’t wait for the next book. There were so many twists and turns I wasn’t expecting. I definitely like this series as much or more than Hades X Persephone.
