I re-read Deal with the Elf King earlier this year, and I really enjoyed it a lot more the 2nd time around. In fact, it's now one of my favorites, and something that will probably be on my annual reread list <3 It's such a fun fantasy romance take on Hades/Persephone, and even a little bit of Beauty and the Beast (which I am always a sucker for). Anyway, here is the Elf King himself probably wondering where his betrothed is, before she realizes who she is.

I'm reading "The Deal With The Elf King" after reading all the Acotar series. It's AMAZING to see a great protagonist with an AWESOME narration like Lualla's. The author gives us a great worldbuilding and the characters have lots of personality! I REALLY MISSED ALL OF THAT SPECIALLY BECAUSE IT'S ALSO A RETELLING OF THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST + HADES AND PERSEFONE!

I missed the strong lead female and her dilemmas, her sense of justice and a but of a sour temper towards her future male interest, who is portraited as scary but ends up being a sweetheart due to his love discovery. I thought Acotar had ruined those things for me but it's just a badly-written-characters-inside-a-bad-book2-trial.

I feel so great now with new books and new oportunities to get to know more stories that will take away this bad feeling those characters nd fandom brought me :)♥️

Book thoughts: Deal with the Elf King

4.5 ✰

Some parts of the final puzzle bothered me but overall I enjoyed this much much more than I thought I would. eldas was a pretty stereotypical love interest but i still ate that shit up.

The world building was super impressive for being a standalone. the author manages to establish, build conflict, and solve enough to be satisfied but still leave enough for the sequels. iconic

if you're asking for drawing requests, maybe Willow in her timeskip look or Luz with the Collector??

[ID: a digital illustration of Luz (in her titan form from watching and dreaming) and The Collector. Luz stands on a small hill of red grass, waving at The Collector, who's off-screen but depicted to the audience as a closeup inside a star shaped panel. Luz is waving at the off-screen Collector with a smile, while The Collector smiles tearfully at her. Small uncoloured doodles of Eda and King are depicted waving at the collector in the background. End ID]

This was meant to be a doodle anon but unfortunately I went off the shits. Anyway, collector sees Luz post-resurrection and cries big gross happy tears bc he's so happy she's alive

#the owl house #toh #luz noceda #the collector #watching and dreaming #titan luz #titan!luz #god i love titan!luzs design SO MUCH it's so good.#something so personal abt the cringiest depressed bisexual teen in the world saving the world in cosmic furry cosplay of the devil #i don't really have tag rambles for this?#i did the sketch and fully expected this to be like. just a regular ''lines colour and maybe some shading'' deal #but there was too much negative space? so i added the little eda and king waving in the distance #but this implied like. a surrounding and a sense of space that looked Wrong without more detail #so uh. i did a background. then i coloured the lineart. then i did the shading and it just. kinda. spiraled #meant to post this yesterday but i fell asleep <3 #uhh anyway hope you enjoy anon!#i promise I'm gonna post that third request i just also wanna finish this animatic some time soon #IT'S CLOSE TO BEING DONE I JUST GOT BURNT OUT!!! GRRRRR #i need incentive i need motivation. i need a tiny elf with a hammer to beat my brain everytime i think ''no I won't work today <3''

✩🩸🗡Review:

Elise Kova’s latest book in the Married to Magic series is fang-tastic!

“A Duel with the Vampire Lord” centers around Floriane, a forge maiden who is kidnapped by her worst enemy—the vampire lord Ruvan. In order to survive, she becomes his blood sworn. But the longer Floriane stays at Castle Tempost, the more she realizes that the vampires are not the monsters she thought they were.

Floriane is a strong female protagonist and compelling character. She finds great joy working beside her mother as a blacksmith. As someone who is not familiar with this line of work, I loved learning about how metal is forged into weapons and how much strain the body goes through during this process. To accurately portray smithing, Kova worked with an iron artist to make her own dagger, which makes this book extra special!

Due to the long hours Floriane spends in the smithy, she has an “untraditional” figure—one that is curvy and stout. The way she is described made me love her all the more because Floriane provides representation of women of different body types to readers.

Though she is self-conscious about her appearance at the beginning of the novel, comparing herself to other women in the town, those feelings go away the moment she realizes that Ruvan burns for her. Of the three books in the series, “A Duel with the Vampire Lord” has the best relationship development. Ruvan and Floriane naturally start off as enemies, but they are forced to put their differences aside in order to break the curse plaguing Ruvan’s people. Their attraction for each other heightens the more time they spend with each other until it reaches a fever pitch (arguably Kova’s spiciest scene to date). I absolutely love Ruvan and Floriane’s chemistry and the sacrifices that they made each other towards the end of the novel truly made me feel things.

Another aspect of the novel I appreciated is how Kova was able to create something new about vampires. In her world, blood is used to enhance magic rather than quench thirst. Their blood based magic system is both complex and unique, informing the reader of the vampire’s customs and abilities.

In past books, a majority of the time is spent in Midscape (Kova’s magical land). Kova switches it up in this novel, dividing the protagonist’s time between Midscape and Hunter’s Hamlet, Floriane’s home in the Natural World. I enjoyed getting the opportunity to learn about the social structure of Hunter’s Hamlet (complete with a Master Hunter, Hunters, a Forge Maiden, and farmers) while still being able to venture into the Vampir mountains.

I cannot wait to continue on in the Married to Magic series with “A Duet with the Siren Duke” next year! Fingers crossed that Ruvan and Floriane make a cameo!

What 10 Books Can You Not Live Without?

A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova; Published in 2020, this is a fantasy romance story about a human girl who is married to the Elf King. I love this story and literally can not put it down! I've read it about four times now since I got it in December last year. It's also amazing since it is loosely based on the mythology of Persephone and Hades! (Even with the whole enemies-to-lovers trope!)

Beauty by Robin McKinley; Published in 1978, this is a retelling of the original story of Beauty And The Beast, with a twist! (Obviously the genre is fantasy romance as well). Basically, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, Honour, also known as Beauty, is the youngest of three daughters. It goes along with the original story of Beauty And The Beast, but with a few changes, and honestly it's the best retelling I've ever read.

The New Year's Party by R.L. Stine; Published in 1995, this book is part of the Fear Street Series of R.L. Stine's and I first read this back in 2014. Like all of Stine's books, this is a horror/thriller, with dashes of romance and murder, how lovely! Here's a bit from the back of the book: "P.J. wasn't supposed to die. It was just a practical joke, no big deal. But P.J. had a bad heart." I truly recommend this but beware, you're in for a scare.

Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins; This series was Published in 2003 - 2007, and is about a boy named Gregor who has to save his baby sister, Boots, after she falls down an old air duct grate in the basement of his apartment building. Similar to Alice In Wonderland, they both fall into a subterranean world called the Underland. I love this series and highly recommend it if you love fantasy, mystery, and adventure with a splash of romance.

Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw; Published in 2022, this is the story about what happened after the events of Nightmare Before Christmas. Basically, Sally's a bit overwhelmed about her new title as Pumpkin Queen.

The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani; Published from 2013 to 2020, this story is a fantasy, fairytale, romance, with adventure and mystery. I haven't read the full series yet, but I've read the first two out of nine. Basically, every four years, two children are kidnapped and taken to the School for Good and Evil. Where they would be trained to be good and bad. I loved the first book because of the slight twist.

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux; Published in English in 1911, this is the story about an Opera House that is presumed to be haunted by an Opera Ghost, also know as the Phantom of the Opera. Since the making of this book/story, there have been 33 films from 1916 - 2014. It's a wonderful story, and film, though through the years they have changed it a bit.

Cruella (Disney Live Action Novelization + Photo Insert) by Elizabeth Rudnick; This is just the novelization of the 2021 Disney live action movie, Cruella.

Deadpool: Paws: A Novel of the Marvel Universe by Stefan Petrucha; Published in 2018, in the words of Deadpool, "... This book is about puppies. Puppies that turn into big nasty monsters. And then I gotta kill 'em. Thing is, I like killing people -- the ones that deserve it, anyway -- but even I won't kill puppies. No way. So that's what we call a character dilemma..."

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood by Oliver Bowden; This was Published in 2010, based off of the Multiplatinum Video Games from Ubisoft; Assassin's Creed. This is book 2 of 9, about the beginning of Ezio and his journey of becoming an Assassin. I've read this book twice, and finished it in the same day. That's how good it is.

Hi I saw your fairytale retelling recommendation list and I wanted to ask if you have recommendations for beauty and the beast retellings in particular? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the ask! I saw your other ask clarifying that you were specifically looking for Fae Beauty and the Beast retellings. I do have a couple that I've read that I can suggest.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas

Curse of the Wolf King by Tessonja Odette

A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova

Heart of the Fae by Emma Hamm

An Enchantment of Thorns by Helena Rookwood

I know you weren't asking about nonFae Beauty and the Beast retellings, but here are a couple suggestions anyway because I like them a lot:

Hunted by Meagan Spooner

A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

I hope you find a good read or two out of these suggestions! Let me know!

Also if anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to reblog and add!
