can I be real the book I'm reading rn is a romantasy and I haven't read the genre in a very long time - the author evelyn briar is independent and truly lovely, I met her at a book signing last weekend and I have devoured the book in 2 days and while it's not the best book I've ever read I will never not be hard for the "touch her and I kill you" trope. like sorry I'm an absolute slut for "man who rules tens of thousands of people has power beyond your wildest imagination who has until now been stoic and unmoved by literally everything in his life, only to meet you and turn to putty just by looking at you, tormented by simply KNOWING you, questioning all his morals and ideals for you, worshipping the very ground you walk on" like it's NEVER not yummy. to me
