- Hi everyone. I was recommended this book a few times after seeing it ALL OVER booktok and bookstagram so when it finally came in from the library I was excited and...well...I was entertained LOL What are your thoughts?
(In case it isnt clear, I think this is a very poorly written book and I liked it in the way that one might like a bad movie - I will not be reading this ever again haha)

I Read a Popular Booktok Enemies to Lovers Fantasy 🥴i have questions...
Review from LibraryofAmy on Goodreads that had me cackling -
“They've never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.”
Spoiler alert: they did, actually, and it didn't matter. Because nothing in this book makes any sense.
--
Also, I didn’t even go into the WILD lack of world building and had a very good laugh reading the Goodreads reviews. What time period is this? Why is there electricity but reads like the dark ages? Glad I wasn’t the only one completely lost while reading this lol.
see this makes me so angry because that is such a boss line but the author really just said fuck it 😭
Hi-Fi ! ✋
It's confusing but I loved it. It broke all the rules. My ADHD brain did not predict any of it. I loved it
Alessandra really said “Sometimes it takes a war crime to be a girlboss 💅🏾✨”
💀💀💀
She said “it’s about time we gaslight and gatekeep” 💃🏽🥰
😂😂😂😂
I was considering reading this book, but after this comment....
Well this is hilarious
"he broke her heart so she stabbed and buried him in the woods" uhh *nervous laughter*
I loved that part, I loved that they were horrible people
When she said that..I spit my coffee across the room..I havent read this..but now i want to for the silliness of it all..
omgoshhh her only personality trait was killing someone 😀 like hunny i get it but calm down
I knowww I was like um girl wtf?
aggressive Men irl be like
the whole time i was reading it i was completely confounded about *why* alessandra wanted to kill the king. like, she's part of the nobility, the king hasn't made her life difficult beyond having the no-sex-before-marriage thing. the thought that she might be able to rule as an equal alongside the king didn't even cross her mind. it's just like, "ooh! power! i want that! let's kill the king who has made basically no offense against me to get it and potentially throw the whole kingdom into chaos! wooo, fun teenage years!"
just like. why.
Right?! And he even said that he agrees with the main thing she wants to see changed and will probably change it when he’s fully king so 🙃🙃🙃
I literally just commented this!!! Wat was the reason!!! If she wanted power and the way she planned to do that was make the king love her and become queen why did she feel the need to kill him???
EXACTLYYY! I mean, what even comes in her head to think she can rule a freaking kingdom? She can kill a king that easily? There's no depth. There's no even enough reason for her to do that.
Because the author wanted to portray the mc as a Slytherin who's all about power and accomplishments, and will do the worst things to get what she wants. That's how the book was advertised.
Instead it reads like it was written by a Gryffondor who pretends they are a Slytherin because they think it's cooler and edgier.
No depth. No rhyme or reason. Just a twelve years old's idea of "dark".
It's also silly since the whole setting is supposedly super sexist. How is she going to become Queen Regnant just because she married the king and then he died? I'm pretty sure that she would be IMMEDIATELY accused by some noble with aims for the throne of having killed the king (he'd just happen to be right this time), and be IMMEDIATELY pressured to marry - possibly someone from the most powerful family leading this faction, so as to prevent civil war. Her plot to become queen would take YEARS of extremely careful planning and plenty of allies.
Even when you didn't like a book, it is so entertaining hearing you talk about and making fun of it passionatly 😂
i had a good time hahahahha
Surprised you didn’t mention the absurdity of the whole Hektor murder scandal and how Kallias literally has a good laugh about it and sweeps her murder under the rug but kicks her out when he finds an unopened vile of poison 🤣
omg the list of absurd things is endless hahahha
This!! And the big leap between the vial of poison and it being for him...it could have been for anyone!
I know I hated that end
I will never get over the ending, personally. When she was talking with her friends and Hestia admits she wants to wait until marriage, it's actually a really sweet, if unsubtle, moment where the author pretty clearly stated that whether women choose to wait until marriage or decide to be like Alessandra and just get with every man in sight, it's totally valid. But then, not a paragraph later, she ruins it when Rhoda complains about Galen wanting to wait until marriage, and Alessandra and her agree that she should coerce Galen until he gives in. Like girl, why doesn't his wish to wait until marriage matter as much as Hestia's, just because he's a man? This book has such insane double standards.
The difference is, he has also killed, so he couldn't really punish her for that (his guards), however her "attempt" to poison him is different because he trusted her to touch him, and love him and she supposedly had just broken trust he had never placed in anyone. Hope it helps because I loved the book :)
This book just sounds like the author had a reallllyyyy descriptive fever dream about Bridgerton after binging it and then threw in the Girlboss and 'Robin Hood' part just for ✨kicks✨ lol why
lmfao hahahahha
The author should write a book about a peasant girl turned heroine trying to destroy this kingdom (the shadow king and Alessandra). I feel like the author set these characters up so perfectly vapid that I would love to see them be brought down
Yessss
Now that would be the only good thing to come out of all this
Now THAT I would read
i actually don’t know why booktok likes this book because it’s not even good and this is coming from someone who will read anything with enemies to lovers
right?????????
i wanna read it just to see how bad it is now LOL
@@michellechung17 good luck to you 😭
yes gurl! it was so poorly written, characters weren't compelling, male lead esp was pretty bland, worldbuilding wasn't good, plot wasn't interesting. i expected more since i really liked the synopsis. im so sorry this has to be said but sometimes people's standards are so low damn. overall the book was written like a mundane fantasy wattpad fiction.
@@myonnareads oof maybe if i can find it in a library... idk if I wanna spend 25 bucks on that
The thing that really made me mad about this book was that her entire plan hinged on the fact that she wanted to make him fall in love with her, become queen, and then kill him so she could rule and be powerful and so the conflict was obviously going to be that she can’t kill him because she actually starts to like him but if she was going to become Queen anyway what was the need to kill him????
Exactly 😭😭
For the ultimate power ? So she wouldn’t have to listen to someone who can have a say in what she wants
she wanted ultimate power and not share it with anyone
@@009kundana3 just saying theoretically wouldn’t it be better to have a simp by your side than no simp, because if you’re a royal you would need to have an heir to really secure her power so why not wait u til she has a kid to fully have the support and power, and it’s not like she can’t use the king as a puppet which many women have done in the past with rulers so like why risk opposition and possibly rebellion from many people which will weaken your power like just saying am I thinking to much
Killing him after he recently conquered a new kingdom which has not been fully incorporated would result in a massive power vacuum. what's more, she has many young male enemies among the nobility who can use their wealth and power to try to get her killed the whole reason the king has conquered so many kingdoms is his powers which she doesn't have, so I guarantee the kingdom would crumble and the economy rapidly decline within 1-2 years.
so in other words, the main character is an idiot
This book is the DEFINITION of "Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss" and I can't stop thinking about it.
Memento mori.
'Aw, two psychopaths found each other, isn't that adorable?'
Went into the book with this review in mind and no expectations and enjoyed it a lot. I even started looking forward to dress descriptions at some point.
the dress descriptions were my fav, I could picture them so clearly and even years after reading it I still have those images in my head!
I’ve heard so many say “you have to laugh or you have to throw it across the room” that I decided it didn’t need me to even crack the cover.
that is EXACTLY how this book felt hahahha
@@caricanread 😱😤🤬🤮
This book was such a trip. I marathoned it and was like "well, that was a kinda weird but overall enjoyable romp" and then I actually thought about what I'd just read, needed to re-read it to make sure it wasn't all a fever dream, and was like okay, no thanks lol. Totally silly, but the thing that kept tripping me up was her sewing hobby?? And therefore all the attention to gowns and clothing? It felt so unnecessary and was giving me flashbacks to that My Immortal fanfic.
it felt exactly like fever dream yes hahahhaha
That's why I don't like enemies to lovers. I'd rather they just stayed enemies
bahahah right!?
Enemies with benefits
Matthias and Nina, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are the only enemy to lovers couples that I love.
@@vipulasharma302 and Alex and Henry if you follow Alex’s definition of their relationship at the beginning
This wasn’t enemies to lovers they were friends from like the fourth chapter
Two villains falling in love for being power hungry and brutal, if this is what you’re looking for read this book
Or read The Cruel Prince instead. That was well written and both Jude and Cardan are human and relatable even though Jude thinks murder solves everything and Cardan thinks being a monster does.
(Holly Black should really pay me for all the marketing I do for her tbh.)
@@cmm5542 YASS TCP
The thing is thats not even an automatically bad concept, its the execution thats terrible
Or if you want to read about villains read anything from our Lord, Joe Abercrombie 😏
I read this book because I was on my Kindle Unlimited trial and was trying to read as much fantasy as I could. So I had no context for this book other than the blurb. I loved it. I thought the whole point was that these were terrible people doing terrible things and having a fun time with it. In the dedication, the author calls it a Slytherin romance, so I take that to mean her inspiration for it was something along the lines of "what if Voldemort fell in love with the wicked witch of the west?" I thought it was hilarious and weirdly lighthearted despite the murder and deception. The worldbuilding is truly awful, I admit, and I'm not sure why it has Robin Hood era government, early Victorian fashion, electricity, and at the same time, Regency period social standards. Just, wha? But I also love that the main character starts the story by saying that she is a straight-up psychopath. The author was kind of daring you to hate her.
It was so horrible to the point that I LOVED IT.
I had read a duology of the same author and it was nothing like this one, I truly think it was her goal to write such a book. The world has Villains that fall in love too, the characters don't always have to be good and evil. I terribly enjoyed this bad book.
So this is a book that I LOVED but could totally understand why people didn't. It's just an over-the-top story of two Slytherins in love, which warmed my cold, villain-loving heart
You summed it up perfectly
Preach
Preach!
Yessssss!! I hope we see more of the villain x villain romance trope in YA
I don’t hate morally gray characters, and don’t get me wrong i enjoyed the book (mostly bc it was an easy read and the world building wasn’t too complicated), but I didn’t find the characters too interesting and some stuff didn’t make any sense. It was mehhhh for me. But i get that people have different preferences so 🤷♀️
Enemies to lovers is the best trope. Periodt.
this one was a mess tho cause they werent even enemies!! literally from day one they're friends hahahha
but done well hahaha
Me: Enemies to Lovers👀 SAY LESS😏📚📚 I will literally buy anything that is enemies to lovers➡️including this book😂💀💀
@@caricanread Rightt it was not ennemies to lovers AT ALL😭but I still loved it
But what about enemies to found family ?
4:12 Achilles WHO? Our girl Alessandra just single-handedly ended the trojan war
This is the best thing I read today lol 😂😂
LMAO IM DEAD
I hear "the prince holds balls" and I'm imagining him just standing there holding like ya know just balls....instead of the dancing kindnof balls you invite one to to have a good time lol
Me too 😂
I haven't read this book but you definitely made me wanna read it just for the fun of it honestly! I couldn't stop laughing at your descriptions and expressions! 😂😂❤️❤️
it was definitely a wild ride
Me reading this book: is this a parody?!?!😂😂
EXACTLY
Essentially the Darklin became king and found someone else just as broken.
The dedication clued me into the theme and I went in assuming there was no "hero" lol
I was waiting for this!!! I read it 2 months ago and....I was like: “What was that? Am I missing something here?”. Oh, and this scene where we realise that the box she put the body in was signed with her name 🤦🏽♀️ thank u for sharing my emotions☀️
omg FINALLY someone who has the same thoughts as me!! This book was so empty, the story was really poor and the worldbuilding nonexistent, I waited a while for this book and when I read it I felt very disappointed. I think the author wanted to write moral grey characters but failed and just gave us horrible people. Besides, the thing of the robbin hood guy was so random like ¿?¿ what this has to do with the main story??
Anyways... I love your videos ♥
This book literally felt like a Wattpad fan fiction the 13 year-old me would write … so it was a dnf for me but thank u for reminding me that I made the right decision
"She's not like the other girls".... we love this trope and it's definitely not the description of almost all ya, fantasy or romance books ;)
"She's not like other girls... she's got sNaKe aRmS!"
“she’s not like the other girls” HAHAHAHHA OMG I LOVED THIS ENTIRE BOOK REVIEW
the entire book was a mess lol-
truly ahhahaha
Agreed lol
I tried so hard to like this book...I really did, I just couldn't
yeah it was a mess hahaha
I literally had this book sitting in my "Ready to Borrow" queue in Libby and then I watched Leonie's review (BookLeo) and she hated it so I never picked up. I feel doubly vindicated lol.
bahahah glad to back you up!
Why is no one talking about the plot twist where Leandros is secretly Kallias' dead brother Xanthos and how it's not possible because Kallias would've known that it's his brother because there's no way they've never touched before as kids???
I actually loved this book because it is so different and exactly what I wanted in villains falling in love. In my opinion I really enjoyed how these characters were truly villains and had no redemption arc where they suddenly start caring. I honestly would not call this enemies to lovers , cause its just two evil ppl falling in love no tension just love
UGH THANK YOU!! literally all of booktok is simping over a plot that makes no sense?? like why does she even want to kill the king, it’s not like she has a real motive except being power hungry? i want slow burn enemies to lovers that plays with my emotions, not whatever this is.
This book screams Reign vibes. Just a very messy version of the show which is already messy 😭
THANK YOU FOR THIS. I haven’t heard anyone talk about this book like this. I thought I was the only one who felt this way!
Can't wait to watch ! Love your videos ❤
❤❤❤
Honestly this book is one of the ones I've re-read a few times. Not because it's a book with good content, mind you, but because it reminds me that the characters I want to end up with the evil villain probably shouldn't end up with them... because they're HORRIBLE PEOPLE.
I still don't understand why they refer to this one as enemies to lovers as they were never truly enemies xD
Would have been a better book if she assassinated the king anyways *shrug* Just take the dog and move on.
Amen. The dog was the only good character 😂
OMG I love the way you think and how you review the books. I'm with you with everything you just said!
I KNOW THIS IS GONNA BE FUN 😂💀
I had such a fun time watching this video lol. Your sarcasm and humor is what i aspire to achieve 😂😂 loads of love!! ❤️
this is the first video i ever watched from your channel, but it definitely won’t be the last! i loved this so much
hahah thank you!!
i loved all your videos bcs theyre so funny 😂 i'd love to see your reading vlog on the wrath and the dawn!
This is the first video of yours that I watch, and I LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR
I read this book with my friend recently and she loved it and felt that it will be a reread book for her in times of book slumps. But for me personally, it felt like a badly written Wattpad story that I will not be picking up again any time soon.
Genuinely one of the funniest books I have ever read I'm glad you were also laughing about it. The assassin with the automatic rifle was my personal favourite part lmfao
This book was on Slytherin romance list. I actually enjoyed it but I didn't take it too seriously tho. My expectations weren’t high on the get go. Yes, it is ridiculous in an entertaining way. Lol
I didn’t read this book. But it sounds like the imaginary story we all think about before sleep when we were little😂
I'm currently reading 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' and I'm enjoying it a lot. I love all your videos! I would like it if you made a video recommending funny books. After watching this video I kind of felt the urge of reading a book that makes me laugh . You made me want to read this book lol
"This has been fun but I'm done" =D Love you Cari. Never stop making videos!!
YES! 👏🏼👏🏼 I just finished reading this after seeing it all over bookstagram and I'm still trying to figure out what the heck happened 🤣
exactly!! and how he was so nonchalant about her killing her ex boyfriend hahahah
i haven’t read this book, but it sounds like “she’s so crazy i love her” 🤪🤪
I don't think I'll ever read this book now because what the hell is going on here xD
truly what the hell hahahah
As someone who grew up on the Robin Hood stories, Alessandra (?) is basically the Sheriff of Nottingham. Like if you'd written a genderbent ShNo/PrJo fanfic, this would be it. Imprisoning/torturing/executing the poor to get to Robbin Hood is the majority of the plot there, so. Yeah... weird one.
This may sound weird but something about the way you chat is very cosy and perfect for listening to while taking a nap or doing the dishes and Im so glad I found your channel
CARI. The entire time you were alluding to this book and talking about reading it in your other vlog, I thought you were referring to These Violent Delights! HA! I got my signals crossed. OMG...I’m so relieved this wasn’t the book you ended up laughing at! :)
this video makes my feelings for the book so valid fhsshf i was so confused why so many people liked it and why it was recommended by so many when it first got released lol also love how you compared the shadow powers thing to bluetooth LMFAO it is spot on
I'm so glad I found you, the way you described this ridiculous plot was so entertaining🤣🤣
The video i was waiting for yaaaay 👍
CARI! Red, White & Royal Blue is SO GOOD
I just bought this book. I'm looking forward to reading it even more now. Thank you for your review!
Amazing video, love your channel! Can you do a bookshelf tour?
haven't read this book but this video still made me laugh out loud a few times
*would love to hear the convo u had with yourself
Thank u so much for this video!
I saw many booktoks talking about this book and reasons why I should read it and due to the fact it is not published in my language (portuguese) I was decided to buy the english version (which is TOO expensive, like REALLY expensive, I could buy 6 books instead).
And after your video I am totally decided to not make this HUGE mistake and I will buy 6 other good books haha
Thank you so much, I love your videos♡
I instantly subscribed cause ur voice is so nice to listen to
aw thank you!
I read this book right at the very beginning of the Covid lockdown and you're right. It's ridiculous and no other word will ever come to mind when describing it. It was entertaining as heck and I read it in one sitting tho.
Thank you for the funny video!😂 It's fun to hear you talk about a book that you found ridiculous or silly, hahaha. I have not read the book myself tho, so I dont have any comments on it, hehe.
I really wanna read the fable book series that you recommended, I will buy next month. So really lookibg forward to that.
The book/series im reading now is:
Ace of Shades (Amanda Foody), it gives me dark academia vibes, much darker than i thought it would be. I dont know if i like it, love the fantasy world, but idk.
Going to start reading:
Flame in the Mist - its like a samurai/ninja theme, where a girl dresses up like boy and joins a dangerous gang to find out why they tried to kill her, while she has to hide from her brother and she is a princess. Set in like old Japan, with katakana swords and ninja stars. Really looking forward to it and it has a sequel. Maybe give those a try? 😊 Looking forward to your next video 🌸
are you ready for shadow and bone tomorrow?👀
NO (yes) NO.
@@caricanread I know exactly what you mean😌
I personally loved the book as an entertainment purpose but I enjoyed seeing your view on this because i just realised I subconsciously thought a lot of these problems. Like the whole peasant thing, I definitely disagreed with that, and there were definitely moments I hated them. But overall I loved the book..
Loved the video!💜✨ I always forget people can have different perspectives on a book I personally love and it’s interesting to see others approaches✨🤗
You’re like the second booktuber who hates this book and quite frankly you’ve convinced me to never read it lol i don’t want to feel like I lost precious hours of my life. Also video idea: reading African books and reviewing them, that would literally be so great
ohhh could you give me some recommendations?
@@caricanread my favorites are things fall apart by Chinua Achebe, so long a letter by Mariama Ba and literally anything by Chimamanda Adichie
@@caricanread Try Who fear death? By Nnedi Okorafor Mbachu. It such a amazing book
@@caricanread And That Girl is Poison by Tia Hines, he is quite good
@@mariec.d.2226 i read americanah and loved it !!
LMAO THAT INTRO. I love your videos as always.
LOL thank you!
you should make this a series 😍
Please and when the king found out that she killed her first lover he was like slay queen 👑 but when he found out that she planned the whole thing and she wanted to win his heart he was like go away I thought you were different wtf I can’t 😭😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i can't believe there's gonna be a sequel
I just like the way you explain the book..... Thank you !!!
I finished a book called The Shell Seekers and has a pretty good story. Its not a fantasy book, but I truly recomend for who just want stay in home reading something warm. (And I have to say, cari, you are my favorite book youtuber )
I've been looking forward to this video since the vlog where you mentioned it. If you're looking for a new read would highly recommend the Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner.
This book is like the selection. It’s so bad but I can’t stop reading. One of the major things in this book is them finding hektors body. And it builds and builds up until the point where they find it and question her. But then it gets swept under the rug in 2 seconds?? And the ending was super fast paced. Also don’t even get me started on Alessandra. This girl literally thinks the world owes her everything. She complains about men the whole time and how she deserves to sleep with whoever she wants without judgment (which I agree) but then when she sleeps with whoever she wants, she uses them for money and then breaks their heart. The exact thing she kill hektor over. And then when Kallias found out she was gonna try and kill him and he kicked her out, she kept going on and on about how he treated her terrible when he kicked her out (when all he did was yell at her, he literally could have executed her but didn’t) and how he “forced the confession out of her” and “how dare he not forgive her just because she didn’t go through with the plan last minute” when she had been lying to him the whole time. And at the end she got mad and goes, “I’m a sexually empowered woman and there’s nothing wrong with that!” Girl you are the definition of gaslight. Gate keep. Girl boss. In the worst way possible. Also Kallias is supposed to be this scary king that can take over all the realms yet is a huge softie and shared his secrets with Alessandra the day after he met her?? Also how is this book even enemies to lovers?? AGHhhh I hate this book but I love it at the same time.
I loved this lol I know what book NOT to read now. I see you like Fantasy a lot from your other videos, could you make a video about Fantasy book recommendations for a beginner in the genre pleeeaase. I need it :( btw I just read Shadow and Bone and gave it 3.5 out of 5, I'll probably read the other books too
THANK YOU FOR FEELING THIS WAY TOO!! WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE IT SO MUCH
I've got to say your review was just so entertaining. I couldn't stop watching even though it's not a book I would enjoy reading. I'm currently reading "A Gentleman in Moscow" by Amor Towles, and "Hope Dies Last" by Studs Turkey. Thanks.
A Gentlemen In Moscow has been on my lost for so long
Finally, someone who shares the same opinion as me. I was given an arc of this book and my review was very similar to yours, however I rated it higher because of all the pressure I was feeling with the majority of four and five star reviews and everyone one telling me how much they absolutely loved the book. I loved Warrior of the wild from the author but this one I could not care for any of the characters except the dog. It did not awe me, I felt nothing. Not even fun. Loved your review, thank you for it so much!
OKAY OKAY OKAY... Down Comes the Night, debut by Allison Saft... I AM OBSESSED it was so so good such a solid enemies to lovers and it just got crazier and crazier in the best way!!!
Cari I love you! Would you pleeease review The Hazel Wood and the Night Country?
the hazel wood is on my list!!!
It’s a very interesting premise! I’d love to hear your take on it😊
I have never read this book, and I don't think I ever will. It doesn't sound like my cup of tea. But thank you for taking the time to distinguish between what is bad versus what is just not to your taste. I feel that's really important part of reviewing things.
cari you made me laugh. pls read more ridiculous books and do reviews abt them, it’s so fun.
Where did you get your flower ring? It's so cute!!
i feel like i would enjoy enemies to lovers so much more if authors wrote it well, but i haven't been able to find one that feels natural and not the characters being dragged around for plot convenience :/ ('lso hey cari love your videos!)
i always recommend to kill a kingdom!!!
You need to read Kingdom of the wicked
I’ve read the author describe it as a Slytherin romance. The two characters are supposed to be villains, extremely morally grey people who fall in love. I think if you know that going into it it’s a lot more fun! This book does not take itself seriously 😂 I had a great time with it!
I did not know this was the book you were going to talk about and immediately I thought to myself, is that the one...and then you went on to list all of the absurdity. I don't remember how far I got into it before DNFing because I couldn't connect with any of the main characters. They were terrible just like you said. I think humor would be a better way to approach it, but I couldn't finish it lol. Oh well! Glad to hear I'm not alone.
Thanks for this review! I was on the fence with book. Should I buy it or not? You've helped me make my decision, the book does sound "ridiculous" thanks a bunch! 💕this video💫
Sounds hilarious. Heard about it but was not interested and now I'm contemplating on whether to pick it up!
I think this is the closest I’ve seen you angry 😂
Plus the whole time I was thinking ‘but, is it a satire?’
Hahaha omg this video made my day
I honestly am playing with the thought of reading it just for fun ;). I loved the airpods comparison....!
No but that's awesome. Non likeable characters are mt freaking jam, bro. This made me more excited to read it. Sounds like EXACTLY my type of book
I actually like the book . I mean it’s good but people hyped it up so much. It’s solid 3 star for me but after listening to you I can agree this book was crazy
My book recommendation is the Illuminae files, daughter of the pirate king series, shatter me and, red queen. Extra: if you wanna cry read song of Achilles.
Have you read Rachel Caine’s Ink and Bone? It’s the first one in a series and I feel like Rachel Caine is such an underrated writer. Anyways thanks for the review! You always make me want to read the books because you always speak with so much fervor about them 😆
