2 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

The Great Hunt begins once every fifty years and only the Champions willing to face death to shatter the curse dare to enter. The Champions...and me. I'm no warrior, no swordsmith, and certainly no Fae, but the forest is my only hope. To enter those trees is to walk willingly to my demise. But I need the boon the forest will grant the winner and I'm willing to risk it all for a chance at claiming it. I just never expected to face him beneath those trees. The beast who strikes fear into the desperate people of all lands. The monster who commands the legion of Hollows and makes our plight a thousand times worse.

★★☆☆☆

2.5⭐️ I really really wanted to like this book but I think it just wasn’t for me unfortunately. The pacing was off, especially in the first 25% of the book. The main characters had next to no chemistry and the enemies to lovers of it all didn’t really work for me. There was sexual tension but there was no yearning, no slow burn in the romance only in the physical aspect of their relationship. The plot was clunky and the world building felt all over the place. I found myself mildly confused more often than not (thought that could be a me problem) Truthfully I only skimmed the last 20% and I didn’t really feel like I missed out on much. All the plot twists and reveals weren’t all that surprising to me, I could see them coming from a mile away.
