Thank you so much Book of Matches Media for sending me this ARC!
Synopsis:
Theodra, Goddess of War, knows not to break this rule. But like all arrogant gods, she does just that. Unable to hold back, she destroys a ship full of traffickers, unaware there are girls on board. When one of them dies, Theo trades with Death for a soul she will someday love. A soul for a soul. A good deal, in her esteemed opinion, since she is incapable of falling in love.
Unfortunately, Theo might have been mistaken.
Thirteen years later, as a punishment for killing too many wicked men, she is sentenced to play as a mortal in a deadly tournament called the Sacrifice. The games are played in pairs, and her partner is the sinfully handsome Prince Kellyn. Even though they despise one another and can barely work together, sexual tension burns between them. But if their hatred turns to love, it will cost Kellyn his life, for Death is always waiting to collect.
Review & thoughts:
Courting War is a NA Fantasy Romance with fast-paced plot, interesting characters and slow burn romance that I really enjoyed!
Theodora is a Goddess of War and even she calls herself a villain in many people’s stories. She thinks herself unable to love so when she makes a fatal mistake and the price to make it right is the soul of a human she will one day love, she agrees without hesitation. But when years later Theo angers the gods and is turned into a human to help a human prince, Kellyn, participate in deadly games that most will not survive, she finds herself drawn to the handsome prince and remembering why falling in love is not a good idea is more difficult with each passing day.
Theodora is a true morally grey FMC and I absolutely loved her, at the beginning of this story she is arrogant, ruthless and only cares about herself and it was amazing to see her changing throughout the book. Kellyn was Theo’s opposite in almost every way, his difficulties with dyslexia were described really realistically and I loved his and Theo’s slow burn enemies to lovers romance, despite their initial disdain and distrust they learned how to trust and support each other and I loved how perfect they were together and hope we will see more of them in the next books in this series. I also can’t wait to meet all the supporting characters again, the found family trope was written very well here and I hope they will all get their own books.
Courting War is a really great debut book with everything I love in NA Fantasy Romance. I literally couldn’t put it down and already can’t wait for the next books in this series!
