About this deal

After arriving in Vincula, Aurora discovers her opportunity for retribution is closer than she thought. Trigger Warnings: graphic violence & description of crime scenes, mention of sexual assault, attempted rape, child abuse This book is so unlike things I’ve read in the past! While there are some of my favorite tropes like enemies to lovers and hate to love, and my favorite mythological creatures (shifters, fae, angels, etc) the world building and magic system were so unique. The friendships in the book are also so so amazing. Caius. My morally grey, sugar loving, lowkey a golden retriever on the inside with those he loves MMC who I love and adore and want one of my own. He can be a villain alright, and yet, you still look at him and are like, "YES, YOU GO KING." He is such a loving man when he cares about someone and seeing his character unfold was so beautiful. But also, don't think he is not the ruthless Umbra King because he is. He is vicious and I completely root for him. Yes indeed. I wanted Rarity to tame him by riding this magnificent stallion until his will would be broken.

The Umbra is tied with the Frost Spirit for having the third highest amount of health out of any enemy in the game, only beaten by the Void Reaver and the Nuclear Monster. Me thinks Rainbow Dashes overconfidence shall be her undoing when facing a unicorn who has enough power to fight off two alicorns. Will she be able to retrieve her memories to help her decide, or will she stay in the dark forever, dreaming of a man she should hate? There will always be someone who thinks of me as their villain. The least I can do is be a damn good one.”

When trouble once again comes to Ponyville is seems as though Sombra's time is up. Twilight must decide if he is to be imprisoned or allowed to roam free and it seems Rarity will be the ultimate deciding factor. All is well until, one by one, the inhabitants of Ponyville begin acting… strangely. Shaken by a terrible feeling of dread, Rarity believes she may be the only one left to save everypony from the rising darkness. The thing that really stood out for me is that in the beginning, you were given a guide on the realms, races and magic. I loved this as this is normally included at the end and by that part it's ALWAYS TOO LATE. I was a little bit scared going into this after reading the guide but throughout the story, Jamie Applegate Hunter did such a good job of explaining the world-building. It felt rich, and unique that I had never actually seen something like this (this might be because I don't read A LOT of PNR but I still found it fantastic). It was very structurally formulated and convoluted, but pretty simple to understand and grasp. If Tower Defense Simulator won the Roblox Innovation Awards 2022, The Umbra was promised to return to the game. I am The Butcher, Your Grace, and I will not hesitate to string you up with a dagger in your heart.“The side characters in this were also fantastic and the found family element leaves a smile on your face. All the characters that are close to Rory (irrespective of the realm) feel like they really cared about her. It was awesome to see how much care, compassion and thought were taken into formulating these relationships and these friendships. I just wanna HUG SAM!!!!!

Thank you so much to my beautiful bestie, Rebecca for suggesting this book for our buddy read. 💖 I am so excited to read book 2 together! Uniquely, The Umbra could be stunned by the Star Cannon. This also prevented the Shot of the Century ability from finishing. of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars The Umbra King by Jamie Applegate Hunter

Before reading on please keep in mind that all of my opinions on this book, are simply that, personal opinions that are relative to my preferences! I am absolutely HONOURED to have been allowed the privilege of reading an ARC of The Umbra King. The Umbra will laugh before it uses its Shot of the Century ability. This can be used to tell when to use the Star Cannon. It is highly recommended to use the Star Cannon to stun The Umbra, and may be necessary to survive the Shot of the Century ability.
