So This Is Ever After by F. T. Lukens REVIEW
3/5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐
Note for note in the order that I left in my books.
First, I was not okay with Arek kissing Matt when he knew Matt was highly intoxicated. It felt icky and I was worried it would lead to bedroom activities while Mat was under the influence.
Second, I feel like Matt running away after he found out he kissed Arek was a HORRIBLE idea. He knew Arek was dying and would die if he didn't marry his soul mate. He left Arek in a time of need and had no problem helping until Arek NEEDED his help the most. I will circle back on this later.
Third, Arek admits to his friends that he loves Matt. I will circle back on this as well.
Fourth, Crow could have been used to fetch Matt but hadn't. I feel if they had sent a letter with Crow detailing the situation and sent Crow to find Matt, Matt would have been back to the castle a lot sooner than when he got there originally. I feel like that whole "Crow knows how to fetch" plot point was a lost opportunity.
Fifth, "However, I think we'd both agree we have to work on our communication." NO REALLY?!
That brings me to circle around, they really could have avoided all of this drama and wild goose chasing if they had just expressed how they felt a long time ago. I know this was the whole plot, but I found it more frustrating than pleasant to read. It made me dislike the character, which isn't a good thing.
All that aside, I did find myself addicted to the story. If I read the book quickly then I must have liked it. I MIGHT pick up Lukens "In Deeper Waters" at some point.
