About this listen

What could be worse than an arranged marriage to a vampire prince?

When Luna is sold into marriage to the Prince of Darkness on her twenty-first birthday, she thinks she knows what to expect. Arranged marriages happen all the time, right? Wrong. No one could have prepared her for the reality of being married to the vampire prince.

Ever since the day he was made, Sebastian has been living according to Queen Marguerite's rules. After all, he's only alive because of her. When she orders him to marry and bind himself to Luna, a human hailing a neighboring kingdom, he has no choice. He agrees to the marriage but never expects to feel anything for her.

When their Binding Ceremony goes awry, and they are magically tethered, everything is thrown into upheaval. Unable to leave each other's presence, they must learn to live with each other—or die.

Tethered is an arranged marriage high fantasy romance filled with forced proximity, magical bindings, vampires, and world-building. It can be enjoyed on its own or alongside The Ithenmyr Chronicles.

I was sucked into the story early on, excited for the potential. Unfortunately the story didn’t really go anywhere, a lot of interesting plot items were set up but the characters decided to “unpack that later” and never did. The author repeated a lot of descriptions and flipped between modern language and a more traditional use of language. There was a major plot hole that ruined the end of the end of the book, I had already purchased book two so I will listen to book 2 to see if maybe the issues with the plot hole are addressed or not. It’s also generally pg13, if the author took it to adult content it would have been more successful…. Maybe. Reads a little like a Wattpad story, but I don’t regret listening and remain hopeful for the second book.

Shows promise but the writing is weak

I really wanted to love this book. However It’s spicy level is non existent, there are really only two characters that we get to know and the story did not get exciting until the last few chapters. I will get the second book in the hopes that the plot thickens and it picks up the pace. But if that one is as slow as this one I will run the risk of not finishing.

Nothing really happens, it’s just a lot of talking

I couldn't make it past chapter five, poorly written. Characterisation is terribly basic and the prose is lackluster.

I loved the premise of this story but unfortunately I couldn’t get past the writing. I hate to say that. The writing is more set for early teens it’s reads very YA so not sure if that’s the target reader or not but I couldn’t keep listening unfortunately.

DNF for me

the dialog was so childish and repetitive. Nothing much happens as I'm assuming they want you to read the other books. Had to listen to it on 1.5 speed otherwise I wouldnt have gotten through it

Wow, that was hard to get through
