That's when I started to not like the book because I picked up the romantic undertone. HELLO, love triangle, which is what I was getting the sense of when the author was having Laya have nightmares with the Dark Mage chasing her and caressing her cheek. The dark mage lets Laya know that she is his mate and wife, hence the matching lily tattoo/birthmarks, and the goddess of night. The dark mage turns out to be a lost god and so are Thane and Laya. So I skipped ahead to the cliff hanger and man am I glad I didn't waste my time finishing. Overall, it turned out to be a dull read, wish it was better.ĭNF 45%, it was dragging and I didn't like how Laya was still dreaming/having nightmares about the dark mage and not telling Thane, felt like a cheap way to further the plot. I like my girls to be selfless, especially when they are in a powerful position but Layala was not and that irked me big time. ❌ The FMC- She became unbearable, selfish. ✅ The characters- Excluding Layala, everyone was good enough. But I cannot ignore the fact that I did not enjoy the majority of the book. The introduction of the love triangle certainly makes things interesting. ✅ The romance- It's not just Thane and Layala's chemistry. From the first page itself the whole vibe of the book felt off (yes I'm gonna take the vibe of the book as a valid reason to dislike it). Well this one made the first book look absolutely fantastic and now I am rethinking my whole experience reading that book.īut anyway, I am truly disappointed with this one. It contains romantic steam, violence, war, and mature themes with morally grey characters."Don't worry, love, together we will get back home, and all those who sought to punish us will now and profess, long live the queen." Author's note: Long Live the Elf Queen is book 2 in the Elf Queen series and ends on a cliffhanger. Layala and Thane learn what it truly means to fight for love as their enemies surround them and it becomes a struggle for revenge, the kingdom, and finding the truth about why Layala seems to harbor the power of whether Palenor falls into darkness or if her Lightbringer name holds true. She’s the key to destroying the Void or reviving its creator- the long-dead Black Mage she has a mysterious connection to.
Held for weeks without food or water, Layala's resolve begins to fracture as an evil darkness looms over her. Now they'll discover if their love can withstand those who tore them apart. Layala fought against falling in love with him. Kearl's enchanting Bow Before the Elf Queen. Summary The enthralling and romantic sequel to J.M. Long Live the Elf Queen - The Elf Queen 2 J.M.
