🚨This episode contains FULL SPOILERS for The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman. If you don't want the ENTIRE story spoiled, please return once you've read the stories.🚨 _____________________________________________________________ The Wolf King (Lauren Palphreyman) Spoiler Review: Romantasy, Ratings, Tropes, and Twist Ending _________________________________________________________ Allyson and Becca introduce the Reading After Bedtime podcast, share where to follow/review, and promote an ACOTAR 6 release party with Biblio Bar Books & Gifts in Plano, Texas. They review and fully spoil The Wolf King by Lauren Palphreyman (published Sept. 14, 2023), describing it as romance-heavy, fantasy-light romantasy with wolf shifters and tropes including captive heroine, enemies-to-lovers, arranged marriage, forbidden romance, and a disputed “love triangle.” Content warnings include kidnapping, arranged marriage, animal abuse/dog fighting, torture, sexual harassment, misogyny, objectification, and parental/child abuse. Ratings split: Allyson gives 2 stars and Becca a low 4; spice is rated 2. They recap the plot (Aurora kidnapped by alpha Callum, traded for the Heart of the Moon, Sebastian killed, Aurora bonded to half-wolf healer Blake, and Blake’s scheme for the throne), discuss characters, vibes likened to 2000s historical romance/Bridgerton with Scottish-kilt aesthetics, share predictions for book two, and highlight favorite quotes and moments. _____________________________________________________________ 🎉LET'S PARTY!🎉 Let's celebrate the release of ACOTAR 6 together!
