I’ve always found the “enemies-to-lovers” trope exhausting lol Interesting to hear that it works here! I’m all for stories (especially in film) that subvert tropes. I’m not sure exactly why, but romance in books doesn’t appeal to me, but it’s different with film. And I don’t know that it’s just a visual thing. I’ll have to think on this more. It’s been a while since I read something that involves romance, and I don’t think I’ve ever read a single fantasy romance novel.

Maybe it’s time you write your own fairy porn fiction book! Lol

Aroace fellow here ✋ my relationship with romance is weird. I kinda hate romance books and movies, then again, sometimes I love some ships. I don't dislike romance subplots, but I do need them to be more emotional and less sexual and less obvious, or they just fall flat for me. 'Cause I like to see deep and realistic connections, either platonic or romantic.

Unless I'm feeling sappy for some reason (like, once a year). Then I'll read a sapphic rom-com just because. I'm inconsistent, I know. Don't ask 😂

Also, nice review. I'm still not interested in the series, but it was nice to read such a different point of view about it.
