Crystal Kingdom #6
Warrior King: New Worlds
Lilah McClure may be mouthy, bossy, and overly bold, but she knows what’s fair and hates injustice of any kind. When she and her cousins are captured by the mountain fae, she learns they’re living in the freakin’ stone age. Equality between genders? Nope, not even as a joke. The female fae need a champion to stand up for them against their king, show them how their lives should be free from oppression. Lilah is more than willing to take on that job. There’s just one big, sexy, problem. Ferrus.
Ferrus sees no issues with how things have been for centuries. His beautiful, strong, independent woman is making him question the norms and traditions he’s known all his life and wonder if maybe their society is in need of an update. He isn’t sure what to believe, but he’s fallen for this strange little human, so he’ll do his best to keep her from being thrown into the dungeon, or eaten by wild forest creatures.
Lilah has to negotiate with a cold-hearted king for the future freedom of generations of females and show the fae she loves that his ways are barbaric and must change. We can’t forget that some guy wielding dark magic is after her and her cousins, wanting his own revenge on the Crystal Kingdom.

I might come back to this one. I really like this series. But this one I got 35% into this and Lilah was just sooo annoying. Sweetheart I hate to tell you this but you aren't in Kansas anymore. She talks about suing for sexual discrimination, hello these people have no idea what you are talking about. Go back to where you came from if you hate something that much. Uggg

This is book 6 in The Crystal Kingdom series and I would absolutely read the previous books before reading this one. Lilah and her cousins are still trying to make their way back to the Crystal Kingdom. And their journey takes them to a land where they are captured by mountain fae. A group who still lives in a time when there is no equality between the sexes. Lilah can't stand to see any kind of injustice towards people and she is just the person to take a stand against the king for the women being oppressed. Ferrus see's nothing wrong with the way his people have lived for centuries. However, his brave woman is making him question his beliefs and traditions. Now he has to decide if their society should be updated or kept to the norm, along with trying to keep his human out of the dungeons. Along with safe from the man wielding dark magic that is after them and wants revenge on the Crystal Kingdom.
I really liked this one! Lilah is brash and sassy and I loved everything about her! She definitely isn't afraid to stand up for the things that she believes in, no matter what the cost may be. Ferrus knows Lilah is his mate and every instinct he has is to keep her safe and make her his, even if that means going against his king. And I loved that he made a point of trying to see her point of view on things! I really enjoyed their interactions with each other. There was definitely a lot of laughter for me through this story, and that made it all the more worth it to me!

This is a simply wonderful read totally captivating
Lilah and her cousin Daphne and Wren along with her mate Xenon have been trying to cross the mountains to the mystical place that has been known as The Island of the Standing Stones which has the ability of taking them to earth.
They have been followed by the evil minions that are trying to ensure that they fail In their quest but the group will not easily be beaten by evil dark fae, they will continue to fight to their las breath.
Lilah believes she will be able to bargain but fails to realise that in this realm women’s word is of no importance and Ferrus who is the Prince of Citigen, those that survive by living in the volcanic mountain with powers that allow him to manipulate metals and rock.
When Ferrus first sees Lilah he knows that she is his mate, his inner dragon is absolutely certain and knows that he has to keep this fact as a secret so that her life is not put at risk.
However, there is nothing else for it the Prince must convince his father to change the law so that they are allowed to find their mates and although it is not always essential that you read every book in a series I feel that this series will make the most sense if the reader has read the previous books.
This is a wonderful read with dragons, the fae and magic and mayhem who could possibly ask for more?
, but with the laws the way they are, he can't let anyone know. If he does, she could be killed. He has to convince his father to reverse the law banning mates, and his second in command seems to have his sights on his position.
If you haven't read the previous books in this series, this book won't make as much sense. This is book six of The Crystal Kingdom series.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

She builds worlds! Welcome to Millys newest release **The Warrior King** I so enjoy her stories.
Archaic ideas and a way of life has our heroine being sassy and stirring a big pot with a little spoon. I love dragons so Ferrus was my dreamboat *grins* the thing is when you are brought up in a certain lifestyle you don't know what's different, but the inner dragon doesn't care about what's going on the only thing Ferrus' dragon cares about is their mate. Though Ferrus wants to make it better for Lilly, can he if he doesn't understand? can she teach him...why their way is so upsetting to her.? Oh, and everyone isn't happy with the pushy I wanna change things Lilly and a bit of danger lifts its ugly head. Will this, can this be a happy ending?
A very cool little story here love the world in this series and most of the characters though Lilly left me a bit cool didn't feel a lot of connection with her. So worth the read it's fun, cute, and steamy. Enjoy.

Misogynist A$$holes Need Not Apply
Lilah McClure, and her cousins Daphne and Wren and her mate Xenon are crossing mountains to get to a mystical place, called the Island of the Standing Stones, on the other side that COULD take them back to Earth. Kappies, who are the minions of a evil dark fae, named Luzzeh Full, follow them up the mountain. The Kappies have attacked them before so the group tries to hide in a cave, but are taken captive by the mountain fae, the Citogen. As a lawyer, Lilah feels certain she can negotiate their freedom - until she finds out that as a WOMAN she's not allowed to speak to the king!
Ferrus is the prince of the Citogen, (but don't tell Lilah) fae who live in a volcanic mountain, with the power to manipulate rock and metal. As soon as Ferrus sees Lilah he and his inner dragon know she's theirs, but with the laws the way they are, he can't let anyone know. If he does, she could be killed. He has to convince his father to reverse the law banning mates, and his second in command seems to have his sights on his position.

Absolutely the best and the worst world for Lilah and her cousins to end up. True it's an escape from the stagnant lonely life she's been living but now one of the cousins has found her mate and is a constant reminder of what she's not. While running to find their way home out comes the chauvinist Male fae telling her that even her words aren't allowed.. nope she's reached her limit and all will feel her wrath... including the hot one she wants to climb lol.

As this series gets closer to the end, it keeps getting better! Lilah and Ferrus are fantastic! Lilah knows a thing or two about what's fair and what's not thanks to her legal background. When she gets caught by the mountain face and she witnesses injustice, she decides to stand up against it. Even if it means confronting the king. Ferrus is the king's son and when his dragon recognizes Lilah as his mate, he tries to understand where she's coming from. Even though his father's archaic ideas of how women should be treated is all he's ever known. Lilah has to convince her mate that her way is the fair way while trying not to get killed by the prince's right hand warrior or a mysterious being who uses dark magic and is after her and her cousins.

The story of Ferrus and Lilah was so uplifting and entertaining. It took you on a journey to explore the multitude of feelings regarding hurt, jealousy, injustice, acceptance and redemption. We also got explore what happens when we get those parental messages and how they shape who we are as adults but also how we miss so much time, when we don’t understand and target the wrong people in our upsetness. This book as good, I want to see how the different fad continue to work together to beat LUzzUH and come together to make this great as well as key people get their own stories like FERRA, sister of Ferrus. Such a great read .

I loved this book. Milly does such an amazing job drawing you into their world that I was getting angry on behalf of the women just like Lilah. She is a strong heroine that these women need and not all of the male fae are what they seem.
This is all that Ferrus has ever known..
As the Prince he doesn't see everything but this human woman is just what he and his men need to shake up their world.

Book 6 Warrior King in (New Worlds) The Crystal Kingdom by Milly Taiden
Lilah is a cousin of the original women in the series, they all came to see there cousin but I I’ve got to admit I was a fan of her at start especially with her moaning about her cousin happiness but you do warm to her especially after finding out her mother compared her to her cousins and messed with her head. When Lilah and her cousins are on their way home they are captured and held by an enemy of the Crystal Kingdom that outlawed mating and women are treated like slaves. So Lilah starts a revolution and attracts the attention of the Prince who when he meets Lilah knows she’s his mate and thankfully doesn’t agree with his father the king about no mating and helps free her and his people.
Love MT paranormal stories and especially PDA series which is how I started with MT

This is the 6th book in Milly Taiden's The Crystal Kingdom series. Some books in this series are a hit and miss for me, I'm a little unsure with Warrior King. Although I was entertained, I really couldn't care less about Lilah. I find it a little difficult to warm up to her, perhaps it is because I found her to be whiny in the beginning. I did warm up to her when I read why she got that way but still first impression counts as they say. I do like Ferrus and chemistry with Lilah is explosive.
As much as I like to say that this is a stand-alone, I feel that the reader will get the entire experience of the world building if this series is read in order. This book is free to read on KU.

Lilah & Ferrus
Lilah and her two cousins end up in The Crystal Kingdom. How could people live like this? They were used to women having some freedom and living their own lives. While here the women were treated just the opposite. How can they live like this?
Lilah doesn't have much experience with men and most of it not good. When she meets Ferrus, one of the controlling men or not, she is more than attracted. As is Ferrus. The two are meant to be together and the steam is amazing. But Ferrus has a connection to the controlling government. Can she live with it or help change it.
Not gonna be that easy. There are plenty of enemies, dangers, and surprises. How will it all end up?

Lilah and her cousins are still trying to find their way back to the Crystal Kindom dimension. Captured as they were hiding from their enemy, they end up with a group of Fae whose king has outlawed mating and treats the women as slaves.
Lilah isn't about to stand for that and sets about making changes. Ferrus is the prince of his people and when he sees Lilah he knows she's his mate. He doesn't agree that mates should be kept apart, his father is the king. Through Lilah and his exposure to Zee's people, he begins to see how things have gone all wrong.
At the beginnng of the book, I wasn't sure about Lilah. She seemed a little whiney at first because she was jealous of her cousin finding her mate and she had issues with Daphne that were really caused by her mother comparing her to her cousin. You get a better impression of her as the story goes on.

This is Ferrus and Lilah's story . There is no way Lilah will take anyone treating her like a slave with no rights ?? Ferrus just might be the hottest male she has ever seen but nope no way ! Lilah seems a bit unsure and whines at first but dang does she come out of that fast ! Ferrus is one hot male whom will have to learn to deal with a strong minded and willed woman and knows that changes must be made to keep her ! This is well written and fast paced just the kind I love ! Well written and recommended .

Ferrus and his warriors may be big and tough and stuff but they are about to become enlightened as to just how strong the women in their lives are. No more hiding behind sheets, no more out of sight out of mind, no more being quiet and in the shadows. Earth woman, alpha female Lilah is going to wake them all with a great big dose of reality in this fabulous tale. I was shouting ROCK ON! Loudly throughout this wonderful story.

Talk about being thrown back in time. Females have no rights and Lilah is the one to fight for them. She has to go against the king and change their barbaric beliefs.
Boy this one keeps you on your toes. This one has a lot of twist and turns. You never know what to expect. We have drama, adventure, suspense. Great job!
