Emoji Review by Rebecca Dixon
I finished reading ‘Ashes of Chaos,’ Book 2 of Legacy of the Nine Realms series by Amelia Hutchins and it was FREAKING FANTASTIC 🤩🤩! (FYI, I’m not affiliated with the author, not in the book biz, reading is just a HOBBY, and I’m just a regular reader that is super passionate 💗 about spreading the word on GREAT books!) There are NO spoilers 🙌🏻!
Guyyyys 👏🏻👏🏻! I am just SO impressed whenever a second book can be AS GOOD 👍🏻 or BETTER 🙌🏻 than the first! Such a HARD feat for an author to accomplish and Amelia DEFINITELY DID IT 🥳🥳! This continues to be an enemies-to-lovers trope on STEROIDS 😱!! Someone said to me it’s Savage Lands meets the Fever Series… and I have to say, I TOTALLY agree 😁! It’s just so so so good you guys!! It’s LOADED with both tons of ACTION 🤺 and HEAT 🔥! Honestly, I thought the plotline was BEYOND clever 💡! Really, really AMAZING how I stayed FREAKING OBSESSED 😍😍😍 with our ASSH@T of a MMC (hello enemies-to-lovers 👋🏻!) and our KICKA$S 🤺 FMC the entire book! This author led us through a game of CAT 🐱 and MOUSE 🐭 and it was sooooo GENIUS 🤯. Like, this book was SO good that I had to RUN 🏃🏻♀️ to AMAZON to buy Book 3 immediately … just HAD to 😅! And pssst 🤫… I can let you in on a little 🤏🏻 secret 🤐 ! I am 20% into Book 3 and it’s ALREADY INCREDIBLE 🙌🏻! I AM A FAN 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!
OK ✅!! So some GREAT 🤩 things about this book (without spoilers…EEEK 😬!) This book has one of the MOST TENDER 💞 moments that I have EVER read and it was such a small gesture… TINY 🤏🏻 really… but my heart MELTED 💗 when our FMC laid down, put her face in her palm… and then… our guy… just… awwwww 🥺😍, like I can’t say but so FREAKING MOVING 🥰🥰🥰. I could SEE 👀 it in my head 👩🏻. The two 💞 of them. THERE. In THAT moment. It was just SO touching 💖💖💖. So much so, that I actually started msging friends saying that I was OFFICIALLY SMITTEN 😍 with Knox! Just WOW 🤩 . Amelia, you STOLE my heart ❤️ in that moment! I don’t even know if you meant to 😅! But you totally did 👏🏻. It was SO special and made such a significant impact on me 🥰❤️🥰!
So y’all, yes this is an enemies-to-lovers, YES! But what comes with that are all the little snippets of the LOVERS ❤️🔥! This is my absolutely FAV 🙌🏻 trope because it takes me on the WILDEST emotional ride 🎢 from ONE minute falling in love 💘 with these characters and the NEXT minute so utterly ANGRY 😡 at them! And I know… I KNOW … it will all work out 💪🏻! (eventually 😂 lol) And that’s how I really enjoy the ride… just knowing that I am HERE 🙋🏻♀️ for the DRAMA 🎭! And I KNOW 🧠 & TRUST 🙏🏻 that EVENTUALLY it will all PAY OFF in the BEST 🏆 of ways! And this author makes us BELIEVE THAT 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!
OH MY GOSH! And speaking of ANGRY 😡! LET ME TELL YOU!!! I went from the high of being utterly IN LOVE 💘 with Knox to wanting to BARBECUE him ALIVE 😵! Like proper FLAYING people 😆! THIS GUY 🙄😡🥵!!! He is EVERYTHING an ALPHAHOLE should be and I LOVE ❤️ him for it! But mannnnnn… when a certain hair pulling scene in the camp happened, I was like… Boyyyyy you better RUN 🏃🏻 cuz I’m a-comin’ for you and going to take you down 👊🏻👊🏻! HELL NO! NUH-UGH! 😡😡😡 AND!!! Like this is what is AMAZING 🤩 about this series!! The FMC is so BADA$S 🥷 and she gives back 200% what he dishes out 🙌🏻! Her words are like BARBED WHIPS and she HITS HER MARK 🎯… EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And I am SERIOUSLY sitting here HOOTING 🥳 & HOLLERING 👊🏻 along for the ride! It is SO REFRESHING 💨 to have a FMC just tell it like it is! Yessssssss 👏🏻👏🏻! Cuz you know, she ain’t no captain-save-a-hoe either! 🤣🤣🤣
Not to mention her utter KICKA$S 🤺 moments! I mean if the whole RIB 🍖 thing wasn’t the most mouth dropping 😲, BADA$S 🥷moments… like EVER!… how about all those witches keeps?! 😲😲 This girl is BIGGER THAN LIFE and add a PRIMAL creature to the mix… and I am her NUMBER ONE ☝️ FAN!
Really, I was so IMPRESSED 😮 with this book! It lived up to its hype and it was sooooo nice to page-turn like CRAZY & be seriously INVESTED in the plot! I imagine authors don’t hear this a lot …but I just want to say THANK YOU 🙏🏻 THANK YOU 🙏🏻 THANK YOU 🙏🏻 for NOT having a romantic HEA yet 🙌🏻! I am TOTALLY HERE 🙋🏻♀️ for the PULL & PUSH, the UPs ⬆️ & DOWNs ⬇️ , the HATIN’ 🤬 & LOVIN’ ❤️🔥… ALL. OF. IT. 👏🏻👏🏻 My heart ❤️ is completely wrapped in a million emotions 😀😍😡🥵😂🤩😜😩🥺😡🥵🤯😱😳🙄😲🥱😡🥵😵😆🤣 and I am LOVING ❤️❤️❤️ EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. THEM!
So if you LOVE enemies-to-lovers trope that is amped up to it’s MAX with AMAZING HEAT 🔥, a SASSY takes no CRAP 👊🏻, tell-it-like-it-is HONEST ✌🏻FMC, a HOT/COLD Alphahole 🥵 that SCREAMS SEX 🌶 for DAYS, a FANTASTIC FANTASY 🧚♀️ plotline that has you on the edge of your seat needing the third book STAT 🚨… give this series a shot! It may just be the PERFECT 👌🏻💋 amount of HEAT 🔥 & FANTASY 🧚♀️ for you!
