They call him the Silent Death, because he kills without sound and leaves none capable of speaking in his wake…
When the empire’s deadliest fae murderer catches her wielding forbidden magic, Emelin believes her hour has come. Instead, her captor spares her life, but carries her off on his velvet wings". If she agrees to work with him, she could free all of humanity. But can she trust a fae male with so much blood on his hands? Worse, when his smouldering dark eyes and dangerous secrets reveal glimpses of the heart behind his murderer’s mask… can she trust herself?
I’m not fully sure what you are to me. I’m not sure if I dare to figure it out. But I know you’re a first.” Our hero is a damaged fae assassin and torturer and our heroine is a feisty mage... how hot do you think it will be? 🥵🌶️Do they play the who-gives-in-to-the-tension-first? Oh yeah! 😏 I really loved the forced proximity, the one bed trope and the fact our MMc must communique via sign language or writing on paper really brought a dynamic that I really enjoyed between our MCs. I'm a huge fan of Lisette Marshall but this book was a miss for me unfortunately. While it has the makings of a good fantasy story, with a unique magic system and an interesting world, these elements could have been much stronger. I absolutely love that the magic works through colour and I thought the Labyrinth was a delight, but they weren’t explored enough. This is definitely a slow burn book. There are parts where it feels mundane, but it all really comes together near the end and I ate up every single minute!!
AMÉ ESTE LIBRO.Tiene un worldbuilding fantástico, un sistema de magia muy novedoso y la descripción del mundo Fae hace acordar mucho a A Court of Thorns and Rosesy Under the Mountain.. . La relación entre Creon y Emelin, la química entre los dos no aburre en ningún momento y hay algo sobre Creon que hace que su relación sea todavía mas única y taan grumpy sunshine... que me muero de AMORRRR. No diré nada para no spoilear ya que creo que esta particularidad es algo importante dentro de la historia y mejor descubrirlo al leerlo. I freaking love this book. It's beautifully written, the fantasy world is well developed and fascinating, and the concept of color-magic is so clever. It’s such an amazing read – especially when you consider that Marshall is still a newly-published author. I rate this book up among fantasy reads by Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout (which is high praise from me indeed), and I can’t wait for more.The "Mother", the queen of the empire, is the true winner of the war between fae and humans. She uses her Silent Death killer to send a message to all humans that dare defy her ruling. The primal colors based magic, is a delight to picture and imagine ❤️Epic fantasy romance, baby! This fantasy romance includes most of my favorite tropes however the story felt slow to me which made me lose my focus a few times and I didn't connect with the heroine much. This was a very slow read and I didn't particularly like the main character. Emelin spent too much time in her own head (and was much too whiny) for my liking. She seemed to spend the first half of the book deep in thought. In contrast, Creon is a delight. Beautifully complex and very much morally grey - if only his character was given more time to open up. The one part of the story I really liked is when Emelin and Creon decide to test each other's self-restraint, but if I’m being honest, I expected more of these "midnight encounters". The lore of the world is so well done, it's expanded on really nicely after the prequel. There's so much interesting history of the fae and humans and I could honestly picture bits of the history as Emelin learned about it! Very well written! The Silent Death is supposed to be the Mother’s loyal servant, her invincible warrior, her ruthless, soulless killer. But in the shadows he is playing a game of his own, and he needs Emelin’s magic to win it.
Great Deal
