About this listen
I want him to hurt. To bleed. I want him to snap, just like he snapped me.
Once upon a time, my world was small and sheltered. Everything changed the moment I stepped over my Safety Line, barrelling towards a coupling with a man I hardly know.
He wants me. All of me.
Dunked in a charged political pit, I must secure the ships needed to quell the spill of murderous beasts still flooding the continent. But one wrong move could spur the war I’ve worked so hard to avoid.
I’ll wear the dress and the cupla and the shoes. I’ll do it all with a smile on my face. Because everyone's watching.
He’s watching—hunting a fissure in my frosty shield, trying to scrape back the layers and see my ugly insides. He’s unyielding. Unguarded. Changed. Why is he looking now when I’ve got everything to hide?
Secrets sprout, truths bloom, and more than one of us will snap.
Crowned in the crippling weight of my mistakes, I must atone. Even if it costs me my life.
Fear was my overlord. Now, it’s my prisoner.
To Snap a Silver Stem is the explosive sequel of To Bleed a Crystal Bloom, a dark Rapunzel reimagining full of immersive imagery and breathtaking angst.

Story
Six years ago, I awoke in a cage with no knowledge of who I was or where I’d come from. Six years ago, I was spared the flesh markets and instead thrown in with a group of savages, where I learned it was fight or die. Now, eight Orders of Assassins are converging on the only home I’ve ever known. All in hopes of purchasing new blade slaves for their ranks. I’m for sale, yet all I want is a life far from death and ownership. Then I meet them, the Order of Scorpions. Their allure is a threat to the freedom I crave, but I won’t fall victim to their sting, no matter how tempting it might be.

Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

A land where witches wear their spells like tattoos is no place for a woman without a single magical mark—except for Raven, whose unblemished skin contradicts the truth of her power. Surviving under the scowls of her fellow witches has carved indelible scars into her mind over the years—just as the day she watched the Dark King's men murder her grandmother in cold blood. But the Dark King's reign of terror is far-reaching, and Raven's grandmother won't be the last witch to die under his rule.

Mercenary Casia Greythorne cares about two things: completing whatever her latest job is and earning enough coin to buy the expensive medicine that's keeping her mentor alive. So when the king himself offers her a job, she can't resist the massive reward he offers - even if it means working with Captain Elander, the arrogant, mysterious right-hand to that king. Her partner may be infuriating, but at least their mission seems simple and quick enough: investigate the origins of the strange plague that's been ravaging their empire, help find a cure, and then call it a day.

There are three rules to surviving the Fae—and I'm about to break every single one. Rule #1. Never cross into Faerie. When I'm chased across the wicked border and caught by its reclusive ruler of the sky, the pretty trickster with a clever tongue offers me a deal. Rule #2: Never bargain with a Fae. But I don't have a choice. For thirteen days, I have to survive in his mountainous maze of sinister paths, deceptive stairways, and devious creatures. Refuse, and my sisters will suffer as punishment. Rule #3: Never fall for the enemy. I should have known my sexy captor wouldn't play fair.

Knowing the location of a power that could reshape the world—a grimoire I swore to protect with my life. That secret is the only thing keeping me alive while my captors wait for me to break. Until he arrives. Beautiful. Ruthless. Dark, inscrutable eyes. A dangerously wicked grin. But he’s not here to rescue me. He wants the grimoire for himself–and he’ll destroy anyone who stands in his way. My only choice is a fragile, temporary alliance with a man I can never trust.

Elowen is cursed: she kills with a brush of her fingertips. Her worst fear is hurting the boy she cares for—and her second-worst is the attention of the Raven Lord. Maelor is the lethally beautiful leader of the witch-hunters. And now, he seems like he knows her secrets. When he arrests her, her only hope is to survive a series of brutal trials. Ninety-nine out of a hundred will die, and magic is strictly forbidden. Strangely, Maelor is immune to Elowen’s touch. The Raven Lord claims to want to help her. But as she spends more time with him, she discovers he has a dark secret of his own.

the gray areas between the goodness and the wickedness between people.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The nightmares have disappeared, the agoraphobia has disappeared, her issues with loud noises she started doing exposure therapy for but then disappeared, her ability to turn down R has disappeared, you could drive a spaceship through these plot holes and I’m starting to dislike all the characters.
Out of all that, somehow what bugs me most is that she doesn’t bring up some really obvious conversation topics like hey R, cool you like me back now, but aren’t you still engaged to someone else? She becomes all mean.
All this while she’s trying to train to get out of a pool with a piranha and octopus in it and her trainer is one of the cultists that murder her people and sell their body parts like crack cocaine.
I can do suspension of disbelief but this is just annoying now,
Huge let down
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I am not sure if it is the narrator being overly dramatic or the book really being this annoying but having the MFC drone on and on every 10 minutes about smelling him was painful. I huff on this pillowcase he touched once, oh now I smell him from afar on this key, now it’s a small leaf a half mile away underwater and I know I smell him. If you can’t tell, I really hate this character. And it’s in the first two books and so far the start of the third.
She just doesn’t grow at all and waffles between I can do what I want and not think about the consequences and then just so much stereotypical female character guilt. I don’t get how anyone wants to be around her for any amount of time at all.
All that said I have bought the third book already before I realized how stupid this character was so I’m going to try to power through to find out what happens. I just plan on fast forwarding through all of the angst and whining and smelling. So will probably shave a couple hours off the time (I am not exaggerating my estimate).
If you can make your way through the constant pining and whining and unbelievable amount of tween level angst then the story itself is interesting and the world building is good. The book could have just been a couple hours shorter without all of the melodrama.
I smell him on this key, this shirt, this leaf…
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
So many questions were answered but way more questions still remain… a lot more. I found myself going back quite often to see if I missed something. I love the story line and it has completely gripped me from the beginning but I did get confused a lot throughout. I’m hoping that a lot will
Come together in the next book, so until then I won’t make my rating based on the questions that I have.
Now on to Rhordyn.😮💨 I must just be a toxic person with no pride or self preservation because there is no way I would be acting toward our MMC the way Laith is. I would have folded and climbed back to him in a second… because I’m clearly pathetic 🤣🤷🏼♀️ Are there several red flags when it comes to him? Maybe. Has he been a complete asshole to her for most of her life? Ok, possibly. You know, maybe he just doesn’t deal with his feelings very well? Maybe he didn’t have a good mom? Let’s give this angry, powerful, possessive, obsessive, protective, muscly man a break here. You just never know what others have gone through…… 😆🫣
The rest of the characters… my feelings fluctuate A LOT, so they are still being decided on. I think I love Baze and I think I like Kai? Maybe? I’m very curious to see where he comes in again when it comes to Laith. As for Cainon…. Yeah… not a clue… he’s questionable. One minute I really like him the next I don’t trust me at all.
Now on to the next….
