Un datito curioso, la autora no es americana es europea y se nota en su forma de escribir, algunos giros idiomáticos y particularmente se ve la diferencia en las escenas smut y la ironía en los chistes. 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! I loved the morally grey hero. He was fantastic. I loved how he warmed up to the heroine... eventually. I liked that he learned the equivalent of ASL in the universe the author created to communicate with her. Note: Court of Blood and Bindings contains a generous dose of smouldering glances, angry yearning, and midnight meetings of the illicit type, as well as other mature themes.
The heroine and sassy, hardheaded, and awesome to read about. However, her inner monologues could have been cut down a bit. Yes, there is a cliffhanger. It’s not a really bad one, but it still leaves us on a critical point, and I’m so invested in these characters and their story, I’m absolutely desperate to get my hands on the next book of the series. Caught using forbidden magic, Emelin is captured by the Silent Death and brought to the Crimson Court, where she learns more about the Silent Death and bargains with him. There's more to this famed murderous fae than she thought. This book has all the goodies! Enemies to lovers romance, steam, broody steaming hot male fae, strong willed heroine, one bed trope and more! I cannot recommend it enough! I'm so excited for the next book, I can't wait! They call him the Silent Death, because he kills without sound and leaves none capable of speaking in his wake…Em, my baby, is an emotionally intelligent Heroine (big H) that had to learn to show a submissive and unambitious side. Until the most feared of the empire assassins sees her true colors (literally) and threatens her and her family's lives. Ok, so it's clear from my initial review that I was going through quite a bit. I'm going to disagree with my past self when I said this book slowed down. I did not see that this second time around. I enjoyed the book much more as well. The hero continues to be one of my favorites and I can't wait to see where this story is going with the next book! Still a 5 star read ♡ I did not expect to like this as much as I did! For 1.....I legit thought this was a vampire book 🤣 my mistake. I maybe would have continued if not for this bish. Like she is super timid about her parents behaviour of her and lo-key sounds like she resents them and then gets all blubbery when they abandon her to an assassin and inferno. Like why are you all of a sudden acting like you were ripped away from a loving family? They were horrible and so was everyone else in her town. It didn’t make sense. And then all of a sudden this quiet girl who bit her tongue around her parents starts mouthing off to a old af assassin known as the silent death? How does anything about that make sense. It also made her really annoying. She was essentially a chihuahua barking at a lion. Then you are being led into believing she’s some key to freeing the world from a tyrant.

I let myself plummet, into the unfathomable, bottomless depths of my heart, and trusted his arms to catch me.His smile…it wasn’t a smile. It was an open wound. It was a wistful darkness that spread over his face and transformed into something hurt and haunted and utterly heart-breaking. 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. The romance was the highlight of the book for me. I always enjoy when there is a communication barrier between the couple and they had to speak to each other through written notes for most of the book. That did not take away from the chemistry between them I adored their banter.
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. Court of Blood and Bindings is the first installment in the Fae Isles series and is a fantasy romance story perfect for ACOTAR fans. Me hizo sentir ACOTAR vibes, no tanto porque sean parecidos sino por la historia y forma de escribir Emelin is a 20-year-old human living in fae-controlled land, born with powers she shouldn’t have, and living a secluded life to hide the fact. When the brutal fae assassin known as the Silent Death sees her using her magic, he doesn’t kill her on the spot as she expects, instead, he whisks her away from her remote island home to the centre of the fae empire, the Crimson Court. He moves her into his home, pretending that she is his human lover, which gives her some protection from those who would hurt her, while he works with her to hone her powers. Because the Silent Death is not who he seems, and he has a plan to take our the ruling fae Mother and free those under her control, and he needs Emelin’s help to do it.
The heart of the Fae Isles. The treacherous Crimson Court, where the Mother of faekind has ruled unchallenged over fae and humans for decades.
Great Deal
