These Twisted Bonds: the spellbinding conclusion to the stunning fantasy romance These Hollow Vows

Product Information

Overall, this book is not so bad, but it is a little cliché and flat at times. Still, with that ending (which was quite abrupt honestly), I can't help but want to read the next book, especially since I expect more drama, angst, and scheming in the next book and those are my weaknesses. I am also hoping for more Finn in the next book and the conclusion of the book gives me hope that the next one is going to be much better. This was honestly so much fun?! 🤭🤭🫶🫶 It was definitely not the perfect book (it had its fair share of issues) but it was super entertaining and exactly the kind of fast-paced fantasy I was looking for 💜💜 One strength of this book though is how it kept me guessing at Finn's and Ronan's true motives. I couldn't decide who was trustworthy and who was being sneaky, although all my hopes were set on Finn since he's so much more interesting than boring prince Ronan.

As for the love triangle, personally I’m not a huge fan of this trope, but I found interesting that the love interests (Finn and Ronan) weren’t perfect and had gray moralities, which is a bit out of the stereotype that other books paint. Neither changed their plans (even if their intentions were different) because of their romantic interest in her. There is treachery, secrets planted here and there, betrayals, secret missions, magic and court intrigue.

Finn I loved. Dark, incredulous eyes flash to mine. “A nap? Brie, you’re so run-down I’m not sure anything but a coma would refresh you.” Patience,” I whisper, guiding him to the floor. The leech crawls across the threshold, cleaning away my blood with its tiny tongue. It’s hardly credible that Brie accepted the bond after spending years steadfast in her decision of not to be a slave or controlled by anyone. As much love as she felt, it all felt very convenient, and it wasn’t convincing.

anyway, i got TCP vibes but i was like ok then where tf is my Jude Duarte? i was given a Feyre, which is when the acotar vibes came in, along with the love triangle. However this love triangle is written very well and the way shit ended? omfg you’re telling me i have to wait a year for book 2? and i’ll probably be denied an ARC for book 2 like i was with this? lmaoo ok jk, that was kinda bitter let’s look at the similarities with acotar. or rather at the absolute same things with different titles: En este libro nos encontramos con la historia de Brie, que es una chica que siempre ha tenido muchos problemas de pobreza y se ha visto obligada a trabajar durísimo junto con su hermana. Además, Brie ha crecido sabiendo que los Fae son peligrosos y traicioneros, así que los detesta. Sin embargo, lo que sucede de repente es que, para pagar unas deudas, la persona para la que trabajan vende a la hermana de Brie al rey de la corte Unseelie. Obviamente Brie entra en pánico y, dejando de lado todas sus reservas contra el mundo de los Fae, decide que tiene que ir a rescatar a su hermana. Cuando cruza la frontera, va directa a la corte y se ve obligada a hacer un trato con el rey Unseelie, quien le dice que debe robarse tres reliquias mágicas de la corte enemiga, la corte Seelie. Brie needs to gain and hold their trust, whilst taking liberties and remain undetected in her mission. For the majority of the book, I was sure, I would give it 2 or 3 stars. Because firstly, the whole 'I'm so special' and 'I'm not like other girls' really tried me and the positive life view I've been trying so incredibly hard to have. Why didn't I give it that rating? Simple, simple answer.TLDR: With its captivating plot, fantastical setting, and well-crafted love triangle, this is the perfect read for when you feel like escaping from reality for a spell.
