"Hate is a powerful feeling, too," Jamil said. "It's a passion, too, just on another end of the spectrum. Some say it's stronger than love, and that if you suddenly lose someone you hated for years, it would leave as big a void as if you lost a loved one."
i don't want to give much away bc like everybody just needs to dive into this masterpiece so imma just list a bunch of my favourite things real quick
alright so what's not to like?
⦔ enemies to lovers at its finest
this is like the most superior trope out there but a lot of times it isn't done well but oh my god out here? chef's kiss
they hated each other for practically the entire length of book and w good reason. but in that hate, they loved each other. they were perfect together, and yes, sometimes ksar seemed irredeemable. he broke seyn's heart and his self-confidence but in the end? when he showed seyn just how much he loved him? i-
"I can't do grand confessions, but I know what I want." Ksar met Seyn's gaze and held it. "I never really hated you, at least not like you hated me. Even when you irritated me, I wanted to have you. I don't mean just lust. I liked the idea of you being mine—being at my side, in my bed, taking my name, and becoming my King-Consort at some point."
⦔ the impeccable romance
their banter from the very start was perfect. seeing them bicker back and forth, throwing insults around, but being so protective and loving in their own way towards each other was just so beautiful.
you could literally see it as their hate slowly turned to confusion and then acceptance towards the love that they had for each other. the soft moments and the whispered promises and the secret smiles and oh god that angst. you could feel them dying when they were away from each other, and the way they went crawling back to each other bc they knew there would be no one else for them
"Slowly, Ksar dropped to one knee, and then the other, until he was kneeling in front of Seyn, who was staring at him, wide-eyed. Well aware that anyone spying on them could probably see him kneeling on the hard ground, Ksar took Seyn’s hand and brought their clasped hands to his right shoulder. Seyn took in a sharp breath, clearly recognizing the gesture: it had once been used by clan lords to swear fealty to their king. It had gone out of use thousands of years ago; it was considered too demeaning by modern standards."
and all the hate sex?? so sexc i can't-
i could honestly go on and on ab this book but im gonna cut it short, just believe that you need to read this book. i honestly loved it so much....more
in my opinion, the book did not start out great. i loved the fact that the author was trying to show us the trauma that roan was going through bu4 ★'s
in my opinion, the book did not start out great. i loved the fact that the author was trying to show us the trauma that roan was going through but i did not like how it was portrayed.
instead of talking ab it they either fought or had sex and that is never the solution. i also felt that after the initial long drawn out chapters of them fighting, his trauma kinda just disappeared (??) like there was no talk ab it?? not complaining since all they did was fight instead of talk but like ??
also, we got absolutely nothing ab sasha's past and that really, really pissed me off
"How can you care," he asked, grudgingly looking up at me, "knowing what you know?" "Because I love you. I love all of you. The good, the bad, and the fucking ugly. Just like you love me."
moving onto the romance, i loved it. it was beautiful. they had each other's back and more importantly they understood each other.
sasha had a soft side to match roan's and roan had an evil side to match sasha's. they truly balanced each other and they loved each other and it was just beautiful.
'Three little words, followed by four little words. Soft, loving sentiment after a shooting. How fucked up was that? He was proud of me for trying to murder someone. That’s not something you should be fucking proud of.'
i loved how strong roan became in the later part of the book. his revenge plan and the way he did not shy away from embracing his evil side was just so refreshing and amazing to read about. Philip Sinclair deserved everything that he went through and honestly so much more.
also unpopular opinion alert i HATED frankie. and i LOVED freddy. frankie annoyed the fuck out of me. she was supposed to be supportive and kind and just be there for roan but there was none of that. she was just loud and obnoxious and seemed like she always got what she wanted. she pissed me off so much and im glad we didn't have to see much of her in the later part of the book. freddy, on the other hand, was supportive and i really liked him.
If he was anyone else, I would have thought he was fucking joking. "You cannot talk about torturing someone to death and then turn around and take me to brunch!"
this some what reminded me of the energy that Stavros and Daniel had from the Staniel Duet and that is like one of my most favourite books ever and so i loved that
"Missing home?" I asked, slipping my arms around his waist and pressing my cheek to his back. "You’re my home." He dialled down the heat and turned in my arms, kissing me.
overall, an amazing duet and i need more rec's of this kind so help a girl out ________________________
