queere sapphic Liebesgeschichte Enemies-to-Lovers Only-One-Bed Das Buch des Jahres der British Book Awards: Band 1 der mitreißenden Romantasy-Trilogie voller prickelnder Spannung, magischer Fae und dramatischer Wendungen Yeeran ist die jüngste Colonel ihres Elfenvolkes, doch der erste Einsatz endet in einer Katastrophe. Die Strafe lautet Exil. Der treuergebene Kommandant Rayan folgt Yeeran gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Lettle in die Wildnis. Auch wenn Lettle die Kunst der Prophezeiung beherrscht – niemals hätte sie vorhersagen können, dass sie jenseits der Grenzen ihrer Lande auf das Volk der Fae treffen würden. Seit mehr als tausend Jahren gelten sie als ausgestorben und leben nur in Legenden voller Magie und Grausamkeit fort. Nachdem die Schwestern und Rayan gefangen genommen werden, müssen sie feststellen, dass nichts, was sie bisher über die Fae zu wissen glaubten, der Wahrheit entspricht. Eine Anziehung geht von ihnen aus, die die Loyalität der drei auf die Probe stellt. Ebenso wie ihre Herzen ... »Du bist das Feuer meines Herzens und der Schlag meiner Trommel. Unter dem Mondlicht bin ich die Deine, bis das Lied verstummt.« » Dieser Mann hat mein Herz. In der Stille zwischen ihren Atemzügen brannte sich ein Gedanke hell in ihren Geist. Und eines Tages werde ich dich töten.« »Sie überschritt die Grenze, und in ihrer Brust breitete sich Hoffnung aus. Hoffnung, dass sie ihre Geliebte eines Tages wiedersehen würde. Und die Hoffnung darauf, dass es, wenn es so weit sein würde, nicht auf der anderen Seite des Schlachtfelds wäre.«

Me: I hate prologues. They are always unnecessary exposition about how the world was formed

Me: I relinquish my previous statement 😅

And for a time, all was well. But no matter how much the gods wished for peace, they had given their children the one thing that would never ensure it.

From the seeds of the earth Asase made humans. Sprigs became bones and flowers sprouted smiles.

Reminds me of wars in the Middle East over oil

Beneath the bloodied soil of the Bleeding Field were untapped mines of the valuable crystal. And where there is value. there is power, and where there is power, violence will always brew.

Sun sins, she is beautiful. Beautiful in dreams and fierce in waking. 

Sleep didn't come for Yeeran, but nor did she seek it. Instead, she lay there watching the dawn break against her lover's skin, her mind alight with glory and power and death.

Three years ago, he spoke of a prophecy that foretold the second coming of the fae. It was then that the diviners knew that his illness was progressing- the fae only lived in faerytales now. 

I support this flirting more than I support Lettle x Rayan. Ngl Lettle reads like a teenager to me, not a 29 year old (unless elves mature more slowly?) 

Berro's gaze travelled up and down Rayan's body for a beat longer than was polite. 

“It's a shame it wasn't you who bit me...”

Rayan reached out to steady her and grazed her breasts as he grabbed her forearm. Both of them ignored it.

She’s so dramatic oml. He’s literally training. Do you have brain cells?

Lettle felt sick. This was her oWn fault. She had pushed him away and into another woman's arms.

Why are we trying so hard to make Furi likable? Just leave it as enemies to lovers and actually let them be complex characters 😤

Love interests are allowed to be flawed, mean, rude, and moments of weakness. They don’t all need to be sympathetic and amazing human beings.

Before Yeeran could respond Nerad spoke again. 'She is more than the person you have seen. Furi is selfless to a fault, and when something needs to be done, she will volunteer herself be- fore anyone else. There is nothing she would not do for Mosima.' There was true affection in Nerad's tone.

We know! You already told us in EVERY SINGLE chapter prior to this SINCE you found out 🙄🙄🙄🙄🫠

im losing my sanity with every word I read, but I need to read 3 chapters a day to finish this for book club 🤡

“But how can I blame them? When elves have slaughtered so many of the obeah?”

 “That was before you knew,” Pila said
