5/5 stars.
This book has all the tropes I love. What a book!!
I really mean it when I say run do not walk and grab this book. Everything from the characters to the plot was just done so well. I'm planning on buying a physical copy for my collection. Yes, it's that good!

A captivating fantasy romance that’s both dark and alluring. Johnson and Jade create a world of magic and passion that fantasy fans will love.

I was able to read an ebook arc of this thanks to NetGalley. A fun romantasy. Great read. Would read more by this author.

I think this just wasn’t for me. I ended up skimming through most of the book cuz I just wanted to see the end and the predictable conflict of miscommunication and false identity play out. But even that just didn’t hit for me. The writing is well done however, the plot just didn’t grab me unfortunately

unfortunately for me it was one of them books where i was forcing myself to finish it. lots of fantasy readers will definitely enjoy this’

thank you netgallery for allowing me to read this ebook early :)

It was also one of the books I could not get into and had to push myself to read it through. But I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy it and I hope they do!

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity

Dark and sexy I'm so glad I read this.

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da ich es aufgrund relativ kurzer Ausleihdauer (ohne Verlängerung) nicht lesen konnte.

4 stars

I really liked this Romantasy, the writing was good, fast paced, and some of my favorite tropes. I did have some issues with MMC and the world building, which is why I only rated it 4 stars. This has fated mate and forced proximity tropes. MMC Tarian, was very dark and grumpy. I really liked his character at the beginning of the story but did not change or develop as a character much after the relationship started to change and kept doing things after they talked and was still very harsh and angry with FMC Imogen. I really would have liked more world building and development, I just wanted more back story for several characters and details and descriptions of the Fae world. There was a lot of action and twists, which were a lot of fun and the book read really fast. I would recommend checking it out. I will be picking up the second book. I am hoping for some great development in the next one, plus the way it ended I need to know what is going to happen.
I received an advanced ebook, via Netgalley. This review is my own honest opinion.

Ladies and gentlemen we have to stop romanticizing Stockholm Syndrome. I'm begging, here.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. #NetGalley.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this arc. I liked the story and I found the characters enjoyable.

3.5 stars rounded up!

The world building and magic system was easy to follow, which I always appreciate. I also loved Imogen’s character. She makes you wonder if she’s actually crazy or not but her thoughts are entertaining. Tatiana was a typical bossy, broody, fae king who doesn’t want to love someone that he ultimately will.

There’s was some miscommunication and honestly lack of communication that was a bit annoying. I wanted more exchanges between the MCs because it kind of felt like they had 2 actual convos and were suddenly in love? But I still enjoyed the romance aspect of it.

This book ends on quite a cliffhanger which makes me eager for the next one!

The enemies to lovers genre gets me every time. I love me a good book with a human and fae as well. Hope this book continues into a series!

If you enjoy romantic fantasy with enemies to lovers, fated mates, a steamy cramped storage room moment, and witty banter between a sassy human librarian and morally grey fae prince then this book is for you!

Prince of Never' left much to be desired. It was fast paced but I couldn't get behind the characters.

Imogen's transformation from timid librarian in the human realm to abrasive and confrontational in the fae realm felt jarring and inconsistent. The MMC wasn't any better, just devoid of any redeeming qualities. That made it difficult to understand the progression of their relationship, or to even root for them

. Additionally, the world building fell short, leaving crucial aspects of fae lore unexplored and contributing to a sense of disconnect within the narrative.

One super frustrating aspect was Imogen's supposed expertise in fae matters, but with no concept of fated mates? It just didn't make sense.

ANOTHER case of "romance comes out of the author's @ss and no build up to it throughout the novel". I actually DNFed that one 82% in (don't ask why I didn't do it earlier), but damn, can we get healthy romances with characters who communicate? They knew nothing about one another, virtually NOTHING, so why are they falling in love? Ugh, anyway 2 stars
