It doesn't change my rating but I feel a little better about that ridiculous ending. <br /><br />This was originally written as an adult novel (with MUCH sexier content)! Then it was taken down a lot, to be a "YA" novel. I still see it as too explicit for YA, but way too toned down to be adult.<br /><br />If you read this book, I hope you enjoy it, Genni! =)Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-10073056294561179262017-01-24T10:53:13.847-05:002017-01-24T10:53:13.847-05:00I felt the same, about the Goblin King!

But the romance wasn't as magical and seductive as I'd expected.<br /><br />I think you should read this one! I hope you like it. <br /><br />I received clarification that the sequel is a direct one! So the ending of this book is AWFUL, but there is a direct sequel to follow. =)Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-57910696232500047752017-01-24T10:46:33.189-05:002017-01-24T10:46:33.189-05:00I believe so!

Liesl seems so selfless; I feel like I would be annoyed that she never does anything for herself! I always have a hardtime with YA romance when it is marketed as "seductive" and "sensual" because at the end of the day, it's not nearly as seductive and as sensual as adult romances. I try to separate the two, but it's hard sometimes! I think I'm still going to give this one a go, but from my local library!
