I read ACOTAR and hated it. It just felt like a generic romance book with fantasy elements lazily slapped over. I looked for something more action oriented with worlds that feel fresh but found the same enemies to lovers, boring fayes who have the same underused powers, boring and generic politics, high stakes but no tension and maybe one assassin and a fight scene crammed at the end.
I want something that still has that booktok feel, but with more action, no stupid back and forth, tense and well choreographed action, actually feels magical and otherworldly, and a love interest who isn't an asshole or a creep.
