Summary
The elves come for two things: war and wives。 In both cases， they come for death。
Three-thousand years ago， humans were hunted by powerful races with wild magic until the treaty was formed。 Now， for centuries， the elves have taken a young woman from Luella's village to be their Human Queen。
To be chosen is seen as a mark of death by the townsfolk。 A mark nineteen-year-old Luella is grateful to have escaped as a girl。 Instead， she's dedicated her life to studying herbology and becoming the town's only healer。
That is， until the Elf King unexpectedly arrives。。。 for her。
Everything Luella had thought she'd known about her life， and herself， was a lie。 Taken to a land filled with wild magic， Luella is forced to be the new queen to a cold yet blisteringly handsome Elf King。 Once there， she learns about a dying world that only she can save。
The magical land of Midscape pulls on one corner of her heart， her home and people tug on another。。。 but what will truly break her is a passion she never wanted。
A Deal with the Elf King is a complete， stand-alone novel， inspired by the tales of Hades and Persephone， as well as Beauty and the Beast， with a "happily ever after" ending。 It's perfect for fantasy romance fans looking for just the right amount of steam and their next slow-burn and swoon-worthy couple。

DNF at 46%。 Dammit， this was the perfect kind of fantasy romance synopsis for me but I was unfortunately really unimpressed by its execution。 The beginning is okay but then things sort of take a jump and after that it turned into info dump after info dump。 Some of its information that we need to know but the old adage is true- show not tell！ I don't think the character reads younger than she is， but the narrative voice does and it's all a bit odd。 DNF at 46%。 Dammit， this was the perfect kind of fantasy romance synopsis for me but I was unfortunately really unimpressed by its execution。 The beginning is okay but then things sort of take a jump and after that it turned into info dump after info dump。 Some of its information that we need to know but the old adage is true- show not tell！ I don't think the character reads younger than she is， but the narrative voice does and it's all a bit odd。 。。。more

So sad because I had such high expectations for this book but it ended up being bland。 The characters were inconsistent throughout the book that it took away from the story。 Spoiler: I still don’t get why the first queen couldn’t have solved it herself or why they had to be so cryptic in their journals。 It made no sense。

OK so this fits in a specific kind of fantasy book。 And this is exactly the kind of book it is。 If you liked ACOTAR， you will probably like this book。

This is one of the most predictable books I've ever read。 Any fantasy trope you can think of？ It's in there。 It's like the book goes from one predictable scenario to another。 Not a single surprising thing happens in this book。 I am really disappointed as I was expecting much more from this author， since I did like other works from them。 I want to mention just 2 things:1。 He’s startled。 He was startled。 I did this and he was startled。 Startled。 Startled。 Startled。 The word startled is used about This is one of the most predictable books I've ever read。 Any fantasy trope you can think of？ It's in there。 It's like the book goes from one predictable scenario to another。 Not a single surprising thing happens in this book。 I am really disappointed as I was expecting much more from this author， since I did like other works from them。 I want to mention just 2 things:1。 He’s startled。 He was startled。 I did this and he was startled。 Startled。 Startled。 Startled。 The word startled is used about 15 times in relation to the male MC in first half of the book alone。 It doesn't really jive with scary， tall， dark and handsome。 Not to mention it's repetitive af。2。 “Kiss me again，” I demand breathlessly。 “Kiss me like you did that night in the castle。 Let’s give in to this waking dream， Eldas。” “No，” he murmurs。 Everything in me shudders at his denial。 But then he pulls me toward him， snaring me with the lightest touch imaginable。 “I will not kiss you like I did then。” My breath hitches。 Through the fan of my lashes I watch him lean forward。 “I will kiss you better。” This paragraph alone would've made me stop reading the book。 Suffice to say I DNF at 75%。 。。。more

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read your book。 That’s the great thing about an amazing novel， you can read it over and over and get something new out of it。 。。。 If you have some great stories like this one， you can publish it on Novel Star， just submit your story to hardy@novelstar。top or joye@novelstar。top

Fast then super slow then fast againThe speed of events throughout the book seemed a bit incongruent to the pace of character and relationship development。 There are also multiple points of the plot that should have been explored further， but seem to have been sacrificed for the sake of that character development。 It was still an enjoyable read， but I just wasn't as invested as I wanted to be。 I was also led to believe there would be more *spice* lol Fast then super slow then fast againThe speed of events throughout the book seemed a bit incongruent to the pace of character and relationship development。 There are also multiple points of the plot that should have been explored further， but seem to have been sacrificed for the sake of that character development。 It was still an enjoyable read， but I just wasn't as invested as I wanted to be。 I was also led to believe there would be more *spice* lol 。。。more

I give this book 4。5。 It was enjoyable， I liked the storyline and the romance。 There was just something missing that made me downgrade it from a 5。 I wouldn't want to read it again。 I do agree with some other reviews that they may as well have all been human。 We aren't introduced to more than the elves and fae and their magic wasn't that exciting。 I would have liked it to be a bit darker。 It was an easy read and a tad juicier than your average YA。 I give this book 4。5。 It was enjoyable， I liked the storyline and the romance。 There was just something missing that made me downgrade it from a 5。 I wouldn't want to read it again。 I do agree with some other reviews that they may as well have all been human。 We aren't introduced to more than the elves and fae and their magic wasn't that exciting。 I would have liked it to be a bit darker。 It was an easy read and a tad juicier than your average YA。 。。。more

Many of the characters were underdeveloped and lacked chemistry。 I felt like the world building wasn’t great。 For a plot-driven story， the plot wasn’t all that interesting。

From finishing it， the pacing feels off。 It was a good start， then slow， then rushes the end。 Most of the middle seemed filler to me。 I liked the main characters development but the others needed more depth。 More understanding or context。 We barely understood why they did or felt things until later on making it hard to relate。By the time romance blossoms we are 70% done with the book。 Either lengthen the book or sort the pacing in the middle。I wasn't swooning like other novels but I was happy wi From finishing it， the pacing feels off。 It was a good start， then slow， then rushes the end。 Most of the middle seemed filler to me。 I liked the main characters development but the others needed more depth。 More understanding or context。 We barely understood why they did or felt things until later on making it hard to relate。By the time romance blossoms we are 70% done with the book。 Either lengthen the book or sort the pacing in the middle。I wasn't swooning like other novels but I was happy with the ending。 Overall， adore the cover， I think more than the actual story？ 😬 。。。more

1，5 stars。 This year I've said to myself "Let's try and not DNF so many books， yeah？"。 Do I regret that statement？ Yes， a little bit。 I can't say this book was all bad， but just。。。I suppose I was expecting a lot more from the story。 Let's start off with the good things - it's a Hades and Persephone/Beauty and the Beast loose retelling （which is what drew me to it in the first place）， with our main heroine getting dragged into the Elven kingdom as the chosen Queen。 The cover is also gorgeous。The 1，5 stars。 This year I've said to myself "Let's try and not DNF so many books， yeah？"。 Do I regret that statement？ Yes， a little bit。 I can't say this book was all bad， but just。。。I suppose I was expecting a lot more from the story。 Let's start off with the good things - it's a Hades and Persephone/Beauty and the Beast loose retelling （which is what drew me to it in the first place）， with our main heroine getting dragged into the Elven kingdom as the chosen Queen。 The cover is also gorgeous。The plot itself， or the world building isn't something new， and has been done mostly the same way throughout many YA fantasies or TV shows。 The writing style was not at all good， the author choosing to add unnecessary adjectives， descriptions and repeat the same words in the same sentence。 I found myself mentally editing every sentence， which is never a good sign。 The characters were a bit like caricatures， very one dimensional and lacking any depth。 What they did have was a lot of bipolarity。Don't even get me started on the plot twist， that was just no。 Not to mention the romance， please save me from the romance。 Another disappointment and something that lost a few stars from me was the lack of diversity （zero lgbtqia people on the spectrum， one dark skinned character） I'm not a big fan of white and straight centred stories， and try to avoid them as much as possible。 We need representation。Personally and unfortunately， would not recommend。 。。。more

✨hadas✨ lo quiero （en éste caso son elfos， pero yo no le encuentro la diferencia）。Tuve la oportunidad de leerlo porqué quería algo qué sabía qué me iba a gustar y qué fuera rápido de leer， ya qué con el tema de la escuela estoy muy ocupada。La verdad qué esté libro yá empieza mal。Tenemos al "mejor amigo" de la protagonista qué literalmente la obliga a casarse， con el pretexto de qué los dos se aman， la protagonista qué esté caso se llama Luella no le gusta pará nada la idea pero no dice nada， yo ya me imaginaba a la protagonista sumisa hasta la médula。Otra cosa con la qué también empieza mal son las muchas incoherencias qué tiene， cómo por ejemplo esta:"No tengo tiempo para casarme。 No tengo tiempo para lo que sea que Luke y yo hemos estado haciendo。 Ni siquiera he pensado en el matrimonio en mi vida。"Tres doritos después。。。"Estoy casada， eso es lo que hice。Siempre me imaginé casada， era con Luke frente a mi"Hay muchas más incoherencias cómo está pero creó qué con esa sola se entiende。 ಠ_ಠPero luego de ésto la protagonista se pone los pantalones y lo manda a la mierda。"—¡𝘗𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘳！—¡𝘌𝘴𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘰 𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘳！ —𝘋𝘦𝘫𝘰 𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘮𝘪 𝘷𝘰𝘻 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢ñ𝘢𝘴。 𝘓𝘰𝘴 á𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘦

con la trama principal。No me convenció nada el enemies to lovers。 Sí bien los protagonistas se llevan mal， no hay verdadero odió y deseó comprimido， Auque sus peleas son graciosas。"—No seré sermoneado por una humana que entró en mi mundo hace unos días。 Y ciertamente no por alguien que nunca ha gobernado ni un día en su vida。—Bien —digo—。 Porque no tengo ningún interés en sermonear a un hombre que no quiere escuchar。 —Giro sobre mis talones y me dirijo a la puerta de nuevo。 Afortunadamente， no me sigue。—¡Me respetarás！ —grita Eldas。—¡Primero sé alguien digno de respetar！ —Cierro la puerta de golpe detrás de mí。"Sí bien en el libro dicen qué a la protagonista le toma unas semanas llevarse bien con su interés amoroso， Eldas， para mi avanzan muy rápido。Empezemos por los personajes。Luella me gusto y me reía con ella porqué en ocasiones era un tanto dramática。Es un personaje qué no tiene un pasado trágico ni nada de eso， es decidida，estudió mucho y le gusta ayudar a su pueblo con sus comentarios en la medicina。Eldas el rey elfo oscuro y malote， qué me decepcionó， yo me esperaba un Rhysand arrogante y carismático， qué tira comentarios qué enamoran。Pero al principio es un amargo qué carece de personalidad， cada vez qué avanza un pasó con la protagonista， parece qué retrocediera cinco。 Literalmente no le gusta algo y se va de la habitación casi corriendo。 Al igual que Luella no tiene un pasado oscuro， auque nos quieren pintar que si。Sus traumas sólo son qué su mamá no lo quiso y qué estuvo encerrado en un castillo toda su vida。 Ya pará el final del libro， lo conocemos un poco más， es tierno， tira alguno qué otro comentario compinche con Luella y también le gusta mucho cocinar。 Me pareció qué los protagonistas tienen menos química qué dos piedras， es el cliché de "el es malo y ella es buena"。Ya al final me dejé ir， me entretuve mucho y chillaba de alegría cuándo se ponían acaramelados。Yo pensaba recomendar este libro para +12， pero resulto qué tiene escenas 🌶️。。。PERO NO TIENE DETALLES， YO NECESITO SABER COMO LA TIENE ELDAS。Los personajes secundarios son rescatables， pero merecen más。Rinni me pareció súper linda auque no aparecía nunca， pensé qué con Luella iban a hacer como culo y calzón， pero no:（Con Willow me hubiera gustado que tuviera más desarrolló， en vez de ser el típico diferente qué apoya y ayuda a la protagonista。Hook me encantó， YO QUIERO UN LOBO QUE VIAJE ENTRE SOMBRAS。Me esperaba tanto de la madre de Eldas， quería más desarrolló de está mujer qué tuvo a Eldas y Harrow， necesitó saber qué es lo qué en realidad ocurría con el anterior rey y con Alice， le tengo mucha curiosidad a su pasado:（Lo qué pasó con Harrow también me pareció re inconcluso y poco creíble。Con Aria también fué muy obvio todo， yo me esperaba una psicópata， con una gran mente criminal， pero me encontré solo con una enamorada， así quedé 🤡En fin todos los personajes necesitan más desarrolló y esperó qué en el segundo libro se los aproveché más， porqué casi ni los entendí， me gustaron sí， pero no sentía empatía por ellos， los pisa un camión y a mi me chupa un huevo。Tengo qué aclarar también qué en éste libro no hay un villano， porqué me la pasé todo el libro esperando un gran villano， pero es inexistente。 Él libro se basa más en la misión de la protagonista y en el romance。La magia y el mundo dónde transcurre la historia， es interesante pero muy meh。 Nada fuera de lo común， a mi no me quedo todo muy claro tampoco。Los poderes de la protagonista son como los de perséfone， pero lo qué pasa es qué los domina muy rápido y tampoco son creíbles， osea flaca estás en un mundo nuevo y el sábado por la mañana ni sabías que tenías poderes de plantita y hoy me haces crecer una rosa de cinco metros， ni qué fueras Harry Potter。Aprovechó esté espació pará decir qué mí parte favorita fué casi al final， cuándo Luella entra toda andrajosa al palacio le grita a Eldas qué lo ama enfrenté de todos<3Él final bien， pero el problema fué qué estuvo demaciado bien， literalmente fue un final de Disney， terminaron felizmente casados y con hijos， sólo les faltó el "fueron felices para siempre"。En mí opinión esto no es un buen comienzo para una saga。Quedaron muchos cavos sueltos y cosas que no me quedaron claras。Quería más de Alice， la mencionaban mucho y yo me esperaba un plot twist tremendo， pero nunca llegó。Sí bien dieron pie pará otro libro， no me convenció en lo más mínimo y dudó qué lo lea。 No me arrepiento de haber leído este libro porqué amo a las hadas， pero sí me decepcionó mucho y no alcanzó las expectativas que le tenía， creó qué sí lo hubiera leído cuándo era más chica seguro me gustaba más。🌌🌌🌌。Sí te gustan los libros de Sarah J。 Mass o Holly Black， te recomiendo esté libro， o sí todavía no leíste ningún libro de estás autoras y piensas hacerlo primero leete a "deal with the elf king" porqué si te lees Acotar primero vas a tener las expectativas muy altas y esté libro te va a decepcionar。Pero es sólo mí opinión， sí te gustan las hadas o elfos， leete esté libro。gia。 🦋（ಠ_ಠ）━☆ﾟ。*･｡ﾟSi hay errores de ortografía perdón， mi teclado me esta andado mal。 。。。more

3。5 STARSOverall， I really liked this book， it was a little slow with not much happening at times but I enjoyed the romance and the friendships。

Could have been two books， it built and built and then rushed the ending。
