#apprentice to the villain

[queenofheartsdeservedbetter]

I really, REALLY, don't know what I would do without books.

Reading the Assistant to the Villian series and a man panicking over his feelings for a girl will never not be funny-

I have finished Apprentice to the Villian and im so ….

Like what am I supposed to do now ???? How am I supposed to go on ??? Like what ????

One thing I want but probably most likely won't get though I think would be really funny if it happened in Accomplice To The Villain is Evie and Trystan getting married mid battle or something just like Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner in Pirates of the "Caribbean: At World's End".

It's just so funny to imagine and 100% something they would so do.

Who would be Barbossa in this scenario? Probably Kingsley if he's human by that point. He is a prince so he should legally be allowed? And I do see him going "I'm a bit busy right now!" and "You may kiss- You may kiss- Just kiss!"

Edit: And before you say "Don't they need to date first", very bold of you actually to assume that Trystan wouldn't accidentally say "Marry me" instead of "Be with me" because his one singular braincell goes on time out whenever Evie and emotions are involved.

And bold of you to assume Evie wouldn't just go "WHAT?! You just skipped so many steps!! Actually no I'll take it while I can YES LET'S GET MARRIED!" while Trystan is trying to explain himself because who knows WHEN he'll manage to propose again and Evie is nothing but an opportunity grabber.

Meanwhile everyone else is fighting for their life and going "Congratulations guys we're all overjoyed BUT SERIOUSLY WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO WHY ARE YOU BOTH LIKE THIS!?!?!"

Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

"He would follow her off a cliff without question."

✩🦄❤️Review:

These books have quickly become comfort reads of mine!

“Apprentice to the Villain” follows Evie Sage as she becomes her outrageously handsome evil overlord’s apprentice to save both him and the Kingdom of Rennedawn’s magic.

Evie and Trystan made me giddy with joy! Their romantic tension heightens as the two are put in situations they would only fantasize about. I was left feeling satisfied and not (in a good way because I don’t want this series to end!) as they inched closer towards coupledom. While the slow burn is truly infuriating, there is nothing I would not endure for them.

I really appreciate how Maehrer leans into the found family element with this book. The added points-of-view shed light on the backstories of characters new and old. Learning more about what Evie went through as a child and the sacrifices she had to make informed my understanding of her character and the growth she underwent in this story. She steps out of her comfort zone and learns new skills to embrace her new role as Trystan’s apprentice while holding on to her kind, gentle, and optimistic personality. I think that is what I love most about Evie—she never loses sight of what is important to her, her softness included!

This series is so ridiculously fun and I cannot wait to get my hands on book 3!

I just reread the part in Apprentice to The Villain where Gideon meets Trystan, Clare, and Tatiana for the first time and I simply love how jealous both Clare and Trystan get.

Me, eyeing that part of the map that says "the kissing caves" and how Evie and Trystah are going there.

The absolute magic of pure play grumpy meets sunshine in the assistant to the villain is curing so many unsaid things in my life.

PS: how can something so YA and closed door make you feel like you are running a marathon in a sauna.

OH MY GOD!! Cosmopolitan has released chapter 2 of Apprentice To The Villain as a sneek peek!!!!

Obviously they couldn't post chapter 1 since that would be major spoilery because it's from another character's pov neither Evie or The Villain's

I'm gonna go read it now but Hannah just did a LIVE on Tik Tok and there were a lot of people who said that it HURT! So I'm just a teeny bit scared right now. BUT LETS GO!!

Edit:

*sobbing on a pillow* DAMN IT HANNAH!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭

THE FIRST LINE WOMAN!!

Oh god I need to read the rest no BUT NOT COOL HANNAH SO NOT COOL!!!

Okay so I’m gonna just scream here for a minute because I adore assistant to the villain, and this is my fandom account and god. Guys. If you love a good morally gray love interest this series is for you. When I read the first one (literally in one day after it arrived since I preordered it.) I could not stop talking about it, and I don’t have anyone to talk to about it right now since the person I normally would is both in Europe, and also she is going to read the books and I don’t want to spoil it for her. And the second one just came out. Technically, the release date was today (the 6th of August) but I got it on what was technically yesterday. (Thanks Amazon and preordering.)

I was giggling and squealing (I genuinely think I freaked my parents out a bit 😂 especially when I laughed and someone on the tv show they were watching had been talking about other people dying, and I told them that I wasn’t laughing at that. I was laughing at the guy dying in my book. (Well deserved.) I mean. Lyssa wanted to play flying guard, you’d laugh too. My parents didn’t get it.) and it’s literally one of my favorite series. And I need the third book yesterday. (Well today since I finished the second one at 11:58).
