ever-hungry-aria:

I finished reading The Sorceress’s Orc and I loved it! I didn’t expect some things in this book, especially not being it a fucking terato love story, I had a filthy grin on my face while reading some parts. I mean, I though the book just featured orcs, but along the way I was like “Hold on, wtf, it’s like every orc story on Tumblr I’ve read so far!!” (maybe not as NSFW but it’s not for minors as well ;D)

“At the beginning of the story, Vervain, Mistress of the Magical Sciences, is assigned an orc bodyguard, Riyu. She is less than happy that this is considered necessary, but soon finds out that the prejudices she had about orcs are not true, and Riyu is actually rather pleasant company. When the university where she teaches is attacked, she saves the live of her students, and is in turn saved by Riyu. When it is found that one of Vervain’s colleagues has gone missing, she insists to go on a mission to find him.

“

The orcs in the book are awesome, they have very expressive, long and pointy ears, an honour codex, green skin and the main orc character, Riyu, is just so awesome, a fierce warrior, huuuuge, but so gentle and caring towards the main character, Vervain.

Thanks again to  @fuck-yeah-monsters-and-villains  for finding this book and recommending it to me 🙂

Although I recommended the book (because I knew it featured Orcs) I haven’t actually read it yet. Well, after this review it certainly moved up on my long list of books to read.😀

I remember I found this book while I was looking for fantasy and science fiction books that feature a strong romantic element, a heroine that doesn’t conform to established beauty standards (this one’s a bit older than the usual fantasy heroine) AND possibly an interspecies relationship.

…..yes, I’m picky and finding stuff that caters to my tastes is not easy.😉
