    My Thorns For Your Roses

    My Thorns For Your Roses

    Kristen Argyres

    True love takes many forms. As one of the few survivors of her generation, Lark wants to live a quiet, peaceful life. All she needs is a tolerable husband. On her 24th birthday, Lark offends the local faerie lord, the shapeshifter Tamlin, who punishes her with a rose rooted in her flesh. In her efforts to convince Tamlin to undo his handiwork, Lark visits the forest daily and discovers the breathtaking and terrifying wonders of his realm. Despite her pragmatic nature tugging her toward a mortal huntsman, Lark falls for Tamlin. After a near-fatal accident exposes Tamlin’s cruel deception, Lark moves to the capital to accept a marriage of convenience. Yet when she learns of Tamlin’s capture, Lark must choose whether to secure her future or risk it all to save the love of her life from his cannibal ex. -- MY THORNS FOR YOUR ROSES is a "Tam Lin" retelling written in the spirit of the Scottish faerie tale and folksong - for readers who enjoyed the fae in Heather Fawcett's EMILY WILDE series, retellings like Naomi Novik's SPINNING SILVER, and the complicated family dynamics of Kell Woods' AFTER THE FOREST and UPON A STARLIT TIDE. Book cover artist: Yinan Sun (Grey)

    Thoughts from 40% (about the main couple)

    I don't particularly hate friends to lovers but this one isn't hitting for me at all. I will rant a little and people who love this book a lot can skip my rant.

    I have read a couple of friends to lovers trope in books that didn't particularly revolve around romance and they STILL pulled it off for me much better than this one. I found the trope better in 'The Bright Years' where I could genuinely see the yearning and innocence of friendship (and I cried in that book for so many reasons be it happiness or sadness). It felt natural and not pushed down my throat.

    Here I am 40% in and I just don't care about the main couple.

    A lot of 'saying' but no showing of chemistry. Using flowery language and language of martyrdom isn't gonna make me emotionally connected to these characters. It might have worked back in 2021 when I was new to Romantasy.

    I am literally TRYING to see the chemistry at this point. I see the potential when they have friendly banters but literally their entire relationship is co-dependant.

    The story being narrated from Grey's perspective is getting annoying cause AGAIN the author is continuously using her to TALK about how strong the bond between Grey and Kier is. They are just co-dependant and I don't like that in romance so that's another negative for me.

    I am sticking around just for the plot because yeah I had not seen the reveal coming and I want to see how the plot progresses.

    "Thankfully, Marozia’s beauty was a cup that threatened to overrun; this small defect would not lower the level of liquid but merely keep it from spilling over the rim."

    I'm obsessed with each description of Marozia's beauty.
