And 6 and 3 are ALWAYS connected with ‘magic’. I hope you give it a chance! If you hate it, I hope your next book rocks! ❤ If she was inspired by SJM, Holly Black, etc. The storyline is completely different.Īnd besides, this is Lexi Ryan's FIRST YA fantasy novel. I definitely would not use the world 'plagiarism'. While you may notice some similarities, it's definitely no copy and paste with changes. It definitely wasn't all made up by SJM.īut if those are the things that made you love ACOTAR, then you might actually like THV. it's to be expected in books with fae folklore. If there wasn't a sequel, I'd feel gutted, honestly lol.įae, faerie wine, dancing, gowns, handsome fae males, immortals, mortals, courts, monarchy, bonding, magic, tasks, artifacts, etc. The ending was almost happy, there was a victory, and I could make my own conclusions to what happened next. If you ask me, I would have been fine with ACOTAR being a standalone. It keeps it interesting when the love interests are polar opposites, imo. light and dark, sun and moon- a common theme in romance. Honestly, the concept was so different that I didn't even think of ACOTAR. especially since her concept of 'fae bonding' is completely different. I suppose she could've used a different word. I'll partially agree on the 'bond' concept. Right? Or maybe it's a coincidence that I've read mostly books with that. There are many, many stories that use 'the 3' mission trope. Perhaps it will come together in the sequel? It's actually irrelevant to the entire storyline and I have no idea why it was mentioned.

did I miss the part about there being 7 different courts? I'm only familiar with the Seelie, Unseelie, and Wild Fae (which is old folklore, not belonging to any author).Īlso, the story only mentions the 7 Mages of Elora twice in the beginning while in the human realm.
