The cruel prince should not be marketed as romance, so for anyone who has not read it yet just know that the romance is not the main focus at all

[@manu_celano]

yessss!!!! I am so mad when people complain that is missing romance on books that aren't supposed to have romance. It is the same as reading a murder mistery book and complaining that there were a murder on the book (yes, that's the point).

[@manu_celano]

Whoever told you that cruel prince was a romantasy was out of their mind. Girl, this is a fantasy book, not a romance, not even a romantasy, yes there is romance, but it isn't the main plot. When the romance happens it is actually really good, but you shouldn't read cruel prince just waiting for the romance. It is not really fair of you to say you disliked a book because there isn't a lot of romance, when the book didn't even promise to have a huge romance plot.

[@zoyaaudrey1533]

YESSS, OMG I was just about to comment this. Tq for mentioned this. The bit and subtle hint of romance just a ‘sub-plot’ not the main plot..

[@palomaaraujo9992]

yes! same with the other book. If you want romance, read a romance book!

[@amanit.3122]

Glad I read this comment, I was planning on reading Cruel Prince. I am happy to hear that there’s a new fantasy world I can get into thought 😊

[@marigoldkim]

you get it. i went into reading the book thinking it was a romantasy as well. i blame tiktok 😭

[@SamirkumarBhowmik122]

Oh my my thanks for that I was also wondering

[@leotaman8555]

The cruel prince isn't really a romance book. BUT if you continue to read the trilogy it's going to hit really REALLY hard. In the later books some things are revealed that make you wanna read the first book again because it just gives you a totally different perspective on Cardan and the things he does and say..... and let me just say one thing: THE LETTERS!! I literally started crying when I reached that part😭 This series is overall 6 Star read for me❤ Love it so much

[@alexaraye]

I really enjoyed the storyline & am excited to continue the series! 🥰

[@AlliNW0nderland.]

Yea Cruel Prince is not a romance. There’s just a subplot of it but not what the series is about

[@alexaraye]

Yes, I know :)

[@sydneyholifield2987]

A Study in Drowning isnt supposed to be a romance. Its more of a gothic/ womans fantasy read with a very small subplot of romance. It explores sexism and other topics through metaphors and analogies. That’s completly ok you didnt like it though it is sometimes quite slow but its one of my favorites so it was fun to hear your thoughts.

[@Lillyjoy]

It’s very refreshing to hear someone say they didn’t love the Cruel Prince! I didn’t really like it but all I ever hear is high praise for it. Every time I would pick it up it would just make me feel so negative and anxious because of the bullying.

[@Anika.Agrawal415]

[@natalieramones]

Ahh love the cruel prince! It’s not a romance though wish it wasn’t marketed as that, it’s more of a political fantasy that happens to have a romance. It’s a pretty slow burn series so rough going into something like this with romance expectations. Great vlog!!

I actually finished The Cruel Prince fairly recently, and loved it! I thought it was an intricate read filled with palace intrigue and politics. I am looking forward to reading the next books soon. On another reading note, if you’re a reader like me, then Immersive Transalte is definitely for you. It’s basically a free browser extension that supports a wide variety of languages. You can use it to translate all your ebooks into any language. Are you a manga lover? There’s also a cool feature, where you can get accurate translations to the manga you’re currently reading, which is really great.

[@taylorbrinkman4746]

Hi!! So the Sin of Sloth can refer to a lack of physical or spiritual effort, laziness, or spiritual apathy. Sloth is considered a sin because it can reflect a disinclination towards care, love, faith, and contribution, which are virtues that can help people discover their purpose and destiny. It can also be seen as a waste of life, as people may not use their talents to make a positive difference in the world. So I can understand why the first half might seem really slow in King of Sloth because that is kinda the whole meaning of the Sin. :)

I loved looking at the art in my special edition of The Unmaking of June Farrow. I agree that everything made so much more sense after I finished reading the book and I loved it even more Some romance book recommendations I have, as a girl that doesn't really gravitate to romance, would be books written by Hannah Bonam-Young. I love the characters she writes about and truly wish I could be friends with them ❤

[@camillamikkelsen5776]

Have you read any books by Sarah Jio? I`m reading two books at the same time right now.. "The Look Of Love" by Sarah Jio & "White Chrysanthemum" by Mary Lynn Bracht. I`m further in on the "The Look Of Love" and I really like it. I read it in Norwegian,but I want to get it in English as well.

[@teresaclerigo1596]

Heyy!! I haven't ready any of the books, but I think the series Kings of sin is based on the seven capital sins. hance the names wrath, pride, greed, sloth... and since the sin of sloth implies lazyness, it makes a lot of sense you felt that he was so lazy and undriven!! :)

[@alexaraye]

Yes!! I can’t remember if I put that part in the video or not, but I do talk about the title “sloth” & how it makes sense because Xavier’s character is definitely lazy 🥲 I didn’t even connect the titles to the seven sins… that’s honestly so cool !! I love her writing so much, I’m sad this one kinda flopped for me ):

[@minkebrouwer432]

[@katgreer6113]

She loves romantasy and romance. I think she loves lovey dovey books a lot. TCP is not that at all. So you may be right. Fantasy may not be her thing. At least as far I've seen. Whenever I see ppl come to that series for romance, I always know they'll be disappointed. 😂

[@thischannelisdead9]

I think it's because Cruel Prince was marketed heavily as romantasy with a lot of people making posts about the romance. Fantasy may not be her genre, but in romantasy the whole excitement is in that it's a romance set in another world or with a magical being, making romantasy something she typically likes. Reading romance is all well and good, but what if someone wants a romance with fae? Or a romance set in a world with mermaids? That's what romantasy's there for. It is specifically made for romance to be the main plot, with the fantasy taking a bit of a back seat but still visible to make the romance feel more interesting. Which is why a lot of people hated Cruel Prince because the fantasy was the main plot instead of the romance, when the book's marketing and general fandom suggested the romance was the main plot. Sorry for writing so much!! I just think that while, yes, fantasy is not her genre, she fully knows that. She picked up a book not realising it was fantasy and thinking it was romantasy, which imo gives her the right to go "where is the romance?".
