Archlord of Exile

The book is action packed, hot, and an enjoyable quick read. Can’t wait to continue the series. Love the book cover!

Woah woah woah. This was my first ever sci-fi read and I’m all here for it. Even though this is part of a series it was a great stand alone. Short sweet and to the point! I finished this all in one sitting.

I loved the futuristic world and human like beings, it was very similar vibes to a romance fantasy books which I adore. The character relationships had a lot of depth and the sex was 🥵. Even the set up for the next book was 👌. I never thought I’d say this about a sci fi but I want to read the next one really bad, I may have just found a new genre…sci-mantasy?

I’d recommend this book for new sci fi readers and fans of paranormal/fantasy romance books! It hit every nail on the head and was a great quick read.

Inez and Rylec’s story is definitely worth a read.

Fast paced, easily read within a few hours and enough captivating elements to keep you from putting it down.

Sci-fi + romance + magic + spice isn’t ever a mixture in a book I can say I’ve read but it just works in this story…
Inez and Rylec are enemies for a brief period and then a formidable pair that get through everything that is thrown at them!

The push-and-pull, the physical chemistry, the warring desires of doing what's best for yourself versus living life in a way that one is supposed to. This book handles every deliciously angsty part with perfect balance.

This was everything a fantasy romance involving aliens should be!

What I liked:
✨ Even though this was a novella, the worldbuilding and political makeup of the Sollirian society was carefully thought out and explained. I can see how it is only going to bloom more going forward, but this was a great introduction into the world, especially given only a 103 page count!

✨ I loved the way the magic system worked, especially with the mate bond only making his powers stronger while his openness allowed her to use magic as a Earthling.

✨ I loved our MCs! Not only was Rylec just complete perfection, but Inez was also pretty legit.

Rylec was a smirking devil who fought for equality and sacrificed his “normal” for his wife and child. I mean….does it get better than that?!?!?!

Inez escaped and then started a smuggling business helping those who had her horrific past also escape. That’s the kind of badass women we like to see! Women 👏🏻 supporting 👏🏻 women 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 badass.

✨ I liked that the villain was a woman. While I liked nothing about her, It was refreshing to see this, especially with some of her torture tactics being of a sexual nature. I definitely don’t think I’ve seen this before, and I enjoyed being surprised.

✨ Ummmm…..I literally cannot wait until I can request Eliaz’s book. When this is the way this book ends:

Within the day, he’d have himself a star-wife. Within a week, she’d be with child. After the baby was born, Tertia would be his and Eliaz would be free. And his star-wife? He’d have no need for her anymore. The first Archlord of Tertia never lost.

I know two things are bound to happen:
1. He’s going to fall first, and it’s going to be HAAAAARRRRRDDDD
2. She is going to be a little spitfire and I’m here for it!

What could have been better:
✨ Ok, what the hell was that battle scene? There wasn’t even a battle. I’m hoping in future books, if there is another villain to come along, that the final battle scenes are more climatic.

Thank you to NetGalley, 3AM Press, and Kate Stevens for the opportunity to read this book. The opinions expressed above are honest and my own.
