The Court that Bleeds Gold

What a book!!!!!

I loved this so much and for a debut to be this incredible is even more amazing!!

I desperately want to read the next book already!

I love everything about Ruskin and Eleanor, and really enjoyed Dustan and Helima too. It wasn't quite as dark as I was expecting but that didn't take away my enjoyment.

I felt so immersed in the world that was created and I loved the writing style.

I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series!!!

I really, really liked this book! I’m super impressed this is an indie author and self-published.

The fae world resembles The Folk of the Air series, but the story is closer to Beauty & the Beast. Despite knowing the general story, it’s still interesting, likeable characters, and a unique enough plot to keep me reading. I really want to know what happens in part two. If you enjoyed The Cruel Prince, you’ll enjoy this new adult (aka spicier) version, too.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Four and a half
This debut is a fabulous start to what I believe is going to be a trilogy. I am so loving the recent spate of romance involving the Fae and this Fae Prince is everything I wanted powerful, cunning and of course besotted by the heroine. Eleanor is a human with an affinity for metals that sadly sees her making a bargain with a terrifying Fae . Of course he turns out to be so much more than she expected with secrets that bring shocks and surprises along the way. They might start out as enemies but both see a different side to the other although if it's a happy ever after you desire well it's not exactly on the cards yet because of those pesky secrets !
Eleanor is such an impulsive, curious character that it's easy to get behind her. Ruskin is a character with many facets and it's going to be a fun ride I think as their journey progresses. Expect thoroughly nasty, twisted Fae , a sassy heroine and of course passion but I've a feeling we are going to learn a whole lot more about the two Courts of Faeries !
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

Excellent debut novel! “The Court that Bleeds Gold” is a fantastic twist on both the Rumpelstiltskin and Beauty and the Beast tales set in a Fae court. The story is engaging and well-written and reads at a fast pace. I flew through this book and enjoyed it immensely. It's an entertaining read with enough surprises to keep you guessing.

The main characters, Eleanor and Ruskin, are both likeable characters despite their flaws and are easy to connect with. The supporting characters are entertaining and engaging and I wouldn't mind seeing more about them in future books.

In addition to the fantasy, I would categorize this book as a slow-burn enemies to lovers romance that the author executed well. The pacing of the interactions between the characters is excellent and believable and it was easy to relate to what they were feeling as their relationship progressed. There are a few moderately spicy and dark scenes but they feel entirely appropriate to the story and again, are very well-written.

The book does end on a bit of a cliffhanger so I will be eagerly awaiting the sequel to find out what happens next to Eleanor and Ruskin!

*I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

A wonderful story with twists that would make the fae proud. Eleanor works with metals, hoping to make gold and help her family and village while their king cares nothing for his people. Through the selfish decisions of people around her, Eleanor ends up having to put her faith in a known trickster fae and hope that his bargain doesn’t kill her.

This book was engaging and a great read! I found myself pulled in, wanting to know what new information would be discovered next. Zara Storm wrote a fantastic tale, and my only complaint is that I’m left wondering what happens next.

I am so thankful I had the opportunity to read this book! Wow! I really enjoyed all the story building, the tropes and the #romantasy this book was filled with. I could not out this book down!! While I can see where the author pulled inspiration from other author, it was nice because some of those other authors novels I hold close to my heart, this was a wonderful addition to that!
