Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. In today’s article I am going to share with you the best enemies to lovers books fantasy that have the best troll and there are two lovers.

so today I thought that I would do a book recommendation of one of my all-time favorite book tropes enemies to Lovers but I love that trope in multiple different book genres.

so this one I’m going to focus strictly on enemies-to-lovers fantasy books.

if you like fantasy books you love enemies to lovers stick around hopefully I give you guys some new recommendations you haven’t seen before.

1. A Court of Thorns and Ashes by Sarah J. Maas

When I first came across this book, I didn’t know what it was about. I only knew it was a fantasy novel, and the score was super high. So I decided to read it.

After reading it, I regretted it a little, because the previous content did not attract me very much. The story is set on an island similar to England or Westeros in A Song of Ice and Fire, with a smaller island to the west and the mainland to the east.

Most of the island is ruled by elves/goblins/fairies (faerie), with only the southernmost tip inhabited by humans. There is a wall between the human kingdom and the fairy kingdom, so residents on both sides cannot enter each other’s territory at will.

The story of the heroine Feyre and the heroine Tamlin is rewritten based on Beauty and the Beast, but how to say these two characters, the heroine is not interesting enough, the heroine is too strong and there is no sense of substitution, there is really no call between the two.

Whether a novel is attractive or not, the characters are really important. Many times, readers are attracted by the characters and want to know what happens to them later, whether their wishes can be fulfilled, and whether their ideals can be realized.

So if the characters are not likable, the reader will feel that it doesn’t matter what they do, and they won’t want to read on.

I felt this way in the first half of this book, and I didn’t really want to read it, but even though it was tasteless, it was a pity to discard it, so I continued to read it, and only read a little bit every day.

As a result, the characters in the second half became more interesting! (Except for Tamlin, he is still very boring), especially Rhysand who occupies the main position in the back, the charisma of the characters is beyond the limit, and my interest in the story has also been aroused! Persistence really pays off!

2. From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

At this level, it is actually the best romance novel on Goodreads last year, especially since the heroine has a lot of inner drama… every time. The author does not rely on the plot to promote the character but relies on language repetition to brainwash the readers…

The worldview setting is similar to the approved Twilight, a strengthened version of vampires and werewolves, let me dream back ten years ago. The low score of this book on Goodreads is very exciting, I can’t stop laughing, it’s the biggest gain from reading this book.

I almost gave up reading, and after chapter 10, I am getting better and better. Once I accept the setting of the beautiful man and Mary Su, I can happily watch them fight and fall in love!

3. The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black is the first book in a trilogy, that is set in Faerie, which happens to exist alongside our world.

Jude, our main protagonist is not a fairy, but when she was just seven, she saw her other killed, who was formerly married to a fairy, called Madoc, who killed her parents and then abducted them into the land of Faerie.

Ten years later, the story sets off and involves death, dissent at the High King’s court, betrayal, and a touch of hot faerie romance.

When I first started the book, during my first read, I thought that it would be set in an Epic Fantasy place, before I saw the map which instead, of being detailed, was rather more beautiful and pretty looking.

I found that this was actually what made the story really interesting. Faerie is this palace that is exquisite, beautiful, and almost a fragile place, where everyone and everything is extremely beautiful, or so we are led to believe. While the world on the outside is beautiful, and while everyone is also beautiful, who they are may not necessarily be so.

I also really liked all the characters that this book had to offer, in that they all feel so very different from each other, which is a good thing.

Cardan is a character that is someone who is spoilt, aggressive, and cruel(hence the cruel prince), but again, I also do like him in a way, especially as a character, and sometimes even the bullies deserve some sympathy, or sometimes at least.

Everyone in the Court of Shadows is an awesome person, despite what it may seem, Oriana may need to get slapped a few times, but even she turns out ok in the end. ✔️ for likable characters.

For people who like the works of Cassandra Clare especially, I think this book would be greatly suited towards them, or you, as faeries are ultimately a dominant part of Clare’s world, and this book, it is pretty much what this book is all about.

There is a bit of romance, which I think is given in a good dose, though it is a little bit less than many YA works out there, I honestly thought that there would have been more considering how much beauty everyone gives off in this book.

4. Angelfall by Susan Ee

Where is the beauty? My God? The legendary hero did not appear until the fifth chapter. The writing style is not as good as yellow books.

The most absurd thing is that it is called dystopia, but it has been a long time since it described the worldview, and it feels lonely after watching it.

The angels here are not as kind and beautiful as people think, they have wars with humans. Then! hero! According to my imagination! Should be super handsome! !! People are super nice!

It’s not easy to save the heroine n times. The heroine is also not easy. My mother has a mental illness. My sister was taken away by an angel. It’s not difficult to save the book on my own. Maybe some words are relatively uncommon and the cover is super beautiful.

Sure enough, the high scores of YA novels come from YA who haven’t read many books.

5. Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat

When I transferred from volume 2 to volume 3, the emotion was a little out of step with the rhythm of the book! It may be that I can’t use my thinking to speculate on the thinking of foreigners! Falling in love with a person who killed his brother is not the same as being the murderer of his brother. When I love this brother’s brother, it’s always a choking feeling!

It’s too depressing, I couldn’t help but flip through the ending, I also watched the car scene, and then read it in order, leaving aside all the messy emotions, just love! Simply love! I’m not depressed anymore! Volume 3 Characters The feeling is a bit different from the previous one.

Roland is soft and no longer an icicle; Daemen is a little bit domineering when he freezes, maybe at this time I take the male protagonist in “The Witcher” as his image and take root in my heart, erect a man who is both lustful and strong, like a gangster, and driving is even more exciting!

Volume 3 has a lot of talking plots, and many battles are settled by talking, which is not cool enough! The logic of some plot designs is a bit far-fetched. In the trial scene, the reversal was also a bit weakened. I stayed up late last night to read it, maybe I need to digest it too!

Overall this is a good book! Books 1 and 2 are similarly paced and well thought out, Book 3 is a bit less. But the third book drove twice, the second book only once, and the first book zero times. Those who like to drive choose.
