DID NOT FINISH: 19%

The book wasn't entirely bad. I just lost interest. I may start it back up but right now I don't see it being as good as other books that I have read.

Excellent fae story that seems kind of tame, but then blasts you with smutt towards the end. 

2.5⭐️

There were a few typos and grammatical issues, but I’m not reading this because it’s great literature. I’m reading this because I like the story. Overall, I thought the story was a solid 4 stars.

I’m excited to see where the story goes because we were left with a lot of unanswered questions. How did Delilah become fae? What role does Delilah’s mother play (let’s not forget, she set everything in motion)? Was Emmalyn really behind everything? Why are Delilah’s wings gold? What are the actual effects of the curse breaking (are the fae in the in-between free)? Will Delilah be able to free her people from her father?

I do see some similarities to ACOTAR but I don’t understand the reviews calling this a dupe.

I mostly enjoyed this book. It scratched a bit of the ACOTAR itch, but it seemed to also have some of the same lingo from SJMs universe incorporated - so that was a bit eye rolling. I mean, some of the same exact phrases were in here - "armed to the teeth", "vulgar gesture", etc..and there were some intense spice scenes crammed back to back toward the end that seemed excessive. Also, I noticed it jumped a bit from one minute being in bed to the next, our FMC is fighting off somewhere completely different with no explanation of how she got there.

This book has some stunning world building! It took up the first 60% of the book, which was a little tricky to get through, but the way the whole world is set up and how the groundwork was laid set up for an awesome peak! I liked the connection between the two main characters but I feel like more personality could’ve been put into the more prominent side characters. I’m excited to read book 2!
