Guys, I would fall off my horse for this book. In Luth poetry, there was a formula used to indicate a very beautiful woman : you would fall off your horse trying to keep looking at her, as you rode past 25 likes, 1 comments - Hibkei Reads and Journals (hibkeireads) on Instagram: It was the crying that saved him - SOMETHING HUMAN by A.J. I would especially recommend it for readers who aren’t wholly on board the romance train but want their historical-fiction-fantasy genres with more kissing (and sex, just to be clear. I loved the story, I loved the characters.

The complications and predicaments all feel excruciating because the world is built up with such effortless skill, I never questioned any of the circumstances that pull and push the characters.Īlso, this book is genuinely funny as heck. But this book really stands out with its setting. It’s super hot, especially if you like first times (yesss) and any kind of forbidden lovers stories. The falling in love is so easy and gentle. There are some delicious tropes, don’t get me wrong (there’s only one bed!!) but this read much more like a fantasy-historical-fiction book to me (think The Eagle, or The Thief, in some ways), than a straight up romance. Based on what I read on GR I was expecting some basic romance beats strung along an enemies-to-lovers trope but this book is way more than that. I wrote my own back matter up there ’cause I’ll be honest, I don’t think the Goodreads blurb does it justice. What if these three days together are all they’ll ever have? And the Luth will be outlawed by his people if he’s seen in the arms of another man. Adares needs to get back to the besieged city of Tios he was fighting for. They save each other, and in the three days they have apart from anything else in the world, they fall in love. But if Adares leaves, the Luth will die of a poisoned arrow wound – and Adares knows where to find the antidote. One of the Luth men who he’d been fighting finds him and instead of a mercy killing, lets him go. Abroad, his fame is beginning to yield consequences of another kind, and they're about to come knocking.Adares wakes trapped in wreakage on a battlefield, knowing he’ll die there. Within Tios' walls, Rus is resigned to his fate as a sort of city mascot and the hero of an ever-growing number of romantic ballads. Adares Doriades Phyleros/Lachan 'Rus' Rusanarath.For Christ圜orr Fandoms: Something Human - A.
