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.

While the performance was good the storyline itself was terrible. There was a lot of repetition (hearing the air thicken time and time and time again!) took away from tense moments, there were a few times where key information was about to be shared but the MFC would ALWAYS loses consciousness so we never found out what was said even when we switched to the MMC perspective and none of the plots were resolve. I can’t believe I got to the end of the book only knowing how the MFC felt about the MMC. When there was so many more promising storylines happening in the book. If you read the book for just romance you will also be very disappointed because that storyline was not written well either. Really disappointed with this one and will not be buying the next book in the series.

Terrible storyline

I couldn't get past how the MFC was so petulant...
Harping on about 'you don't own me' with no regard for context or safety. And the MMC just growled and pulled her around without actually answering any questions.
it felt like performative feminism in a fantasy setting whilst spouting sexist stereotypes about men...

DNF - So annoying

I’m no book connoisseur but this book was, to put it politely, awful. I hate to slate a book but honestly I couldn’t not leave a review. The storyline could be good but it is half developed with elements of the plot just skimmed over leaving you unsure who’s who and what’s what. And other elements are just left unanswered completely. The characters had potential but are woefully underdeveloped to, not to mention incredibly underwhelming with far too much focus put on romance and trivialities. The MFC at one point has a life changing event/realistion happen to her but in the next breath is asking her notorious dark shadow prince husband if he likes what she’s wearing. What! Unfortunately the whole thing felt long winded. And the constant repeating of the characters internal monologue about their feelings for one another after mere weeks is just painful too.
Unfortunately it wasn’t for me. Save your credit.

Not for me… save your credit!

Separately the characters were read well but the female and male POVs did not seem to flow together well. I preferred the female’s version of the characters and felt it should have been read by her all the way through. The male voice, made Luna sound unfeeling and whiny.
I enjoyed the story however and will ‘read’ the second book rather than ‘listen’ to it.
Good world building and interesting main characters.

Good story and blossoming romance

don't bother. fmc voice is great, mmc voice is irritating and for some reason forces a lisp where there shouldn't be one. 6hrs in and about to give up. no spark to the romance and irritating main characters who ask questions which are never answered. don't know if I will make it to the end. waste of a credit

terrible , don't waste your credit

Took me over half way to really get into it but was hooked towards the end , hopefully I like book 2 more 😊

Took some getting going

Predictable, with shallow characters and plot lines. Have no desire to continue series and find out what happens in the next books.

Not for me

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
16 chapters in and never had to struggle this much to get though a book. It’s an absolute chore.
Storyline is slow and dull, nothing being explained and skirting over major details.
Female lead is painfully irritating and there’s just nothing happening.
Doesn’t help that the male narrator is completely wrong for the characters and gives old man ick vibes, especially when reading the female parts.

Don’t waste your time
