They seem to praise books that dive right into the sex and have edgy scenes that can be summed up as buzz words. I feel like BookTok tends to hype up books that don't have any delaying of gratification.
I also think that it would have been better if there was more sexual tension between the leads before they consummated the relationship. This could have been a better book if the misogyny had more grounds and was challenged a bit more (I'm thinking of the book, THE DEMON OF DARKLING REACH). There's also a bit of Handmaids' Tale misogyny incorporated into the world, where woman who are infertile are called "unwomen" and sold as whores, because what else are they good for? Kind of like a cross between a necromancer and a blood mage.
Ada is dragged into Enosh's realm by a mule and is horrified by the evil King of Flesh and Bone who can transmogrify the dead and the living. This book is set in a world filled with death. As far as I can tell, he was only into Ada because she was warm and hot. I also, as other readers have complained, really wasn't feeling the chemistry between the h and the H. The word "seed" is used 26 times, and the heroine calls her clit her "nymph" (which is mentioned 17 times- that's 17 too many). The problem is that it deep-dives into the sex way too fast and it's not all that sexy. I was really not keen on this book, which is a shame because I can see what it was trying to do and it had some interesting world-building.

This world contains dark themes, violence, loss, and elements of horror some may find disturbing. The two-part story features a ruthless man, the woman who can't escape his love, and a HEA. King of Flesh and Bone is a full-length dark fantasy novel, and book one in The Pale Court duet. is a king obsessed.īut I am the vile ruler who controls it all.
