The High Mountain Court

same gr review cuz im laxy
just finished this book and let me say it had a very promising start and the world building was gripping, the pace was fast (a bit too fast for my liking), i ate it up, but there were A LOT of repetitive sentences/ thoughts in Remy's head (Fated/ mate is an annoying word) 
the romance (although i liked the two main characters) felt so rushed, it didn't take its time to brew into something heart touching  LOVED the action and surprises at the last three chapters, will definitely read the next instalment

i'd like to start by saying i DID like this book. i'll probably pick up the rest of the series as well. the characters were fairly loveable and the setting is interesting. the magic system was intriguing. i wish they would've dug into it a bit more, maybe the book would've benefitted from a bit more pages?

however the story was fairly predictable, even the twists, if you're someone who reads fantasy at least semi-regularly. even more so if you read fae romances. i had a good time reading this and it kept me engaged until the end, but its getting a 3.75 simply because there was nothing about the book that really stood out to me. there are definite acotar influences here and a lot of fantasy romance and fae romance tropes are present, so if you like that then you'll probably enjoy this book!

but maybe ive just read too many books of this type because there wasn't much special about this one to me.
