I loved the premise for Deal with the Elf King and I love Elisa Kova, but it fell so short of what it could have been. And the chemistry was just not there the whole book and then WHAM, she realizes that he's the love of her life at the very end. To be honest, the only one of the series I've really liked so far (haven't read the wolf king one yet) was the Vampire one, all the rest just really fell flat for me and I was so bummed because I was so excited for this series to come out. And that purity ring thing - weirds me out way big, but it's actually not that uncommon in very conservative families/churches. I've actually seen what I can only call a ceremony of sorts where the daughter took a vow of purity and the mom and dad gave the daughter a promise ring in return. It definitely always made me extremely uncomfortable when it happened, that's for sure.

@bookswithellen 4 ай бұрын

omg yes i agree with literally everything you said!!! massive lack of chemistry for me with deal with the elf king, feel like i got whiplash when they decided they were suddenly in love with each other. the purity ring thing defo made me suuuper uncomfy as well
