The Ever King: A Dark Fantasy Romance (The Ever Seas)

Erik!!!!!! Enough said.

Okay... LJ Andrews... I see you.
*Now adding all her books to my TBR*
This series combines fae, pirates, sirens...and wow, what a unique world! I loved the relationships, magic, and the true enemies to lovers plot. The story is perfect for any romantasy lover, but it is unique enough that you will be surprised and eager for more!

Definitely 3.75 ⭐️ on Fable / worthy of a round up to 4 star ⭐️ on Goodreads / stick to a 7 ⭐️ here. I got 3 words for you: sexy fae pirates. I really loved the characters, especially Livia and Erik. Erik can call me “love” any day of the week and I wouldn’t mind a necklace from the bones of my enemy either as long as he fucks me gloriously afterward. Woof, Daddy 🥵. I enjoyed the story and the journey, I especially loved being in the journey through Livia’s anxiety and what that is like. You don’t often see that in FMCs in a book so it was something that stuck out to me! I didn’t get as sucked into the story as I would’ve liked though so that’s the main reason it didn’t get a true 4 ⭐️ Fable / 8 ⭐️

What to expect:
- Enemies to lovers
- Found family
- Who did this
- Fated mates
- Slow burn

This book started off slow. I was really worried I wasn't going to like it.
However, once I got past the world-building, I was hooked! I gave 4 stars due to the world-building loosing me in places and I had various questions that I think were supposed to be answered.

3.75 ⭐
Was it magnificent? No
Was it the distraction I needed this week? 1000%
Am I going to read the next one? Wasn't planning on it, but now I have to because this one ended on a cliffhanger.

I enjoyed the world and the different magic and powers possessed by the different clans. I also really enjoyed the pirate/viking vibe. There were some times where I felt like I was maybe missing some key info relating to the world and the fae clans, but am wondering if I had read the related series if that would have helped round out the world building
