 Absolutely loved this! It's so much fun. Hilarious and sweet and I really loved the world and magic. The relationships are so good both romantic and friendships. I really loved the family relationships as well. This is a group of characters I could easily follow doing absolutely anything. That's something I always love and look for in the books I read. A heartbreaking, heartwarming, laugh out loud funny, and super queer story that I had a wonderful time reading.

I was entertained! 
Wyatt is a young boy of 17 years old who was born to Fae parents. He's also betrothed to the Fae prince, Emyr, through a blood contract.
When Wyatt was 14, he incited a big incident that ended in several calamities, after which he ran away to earth and ended up being fostered by a human family. 
The past has a way of catching up to us, and the time has come for Wyatt to deal with the consequences of his actions and the current ongoing political escalations.

Honestly, I felt bad for both Wyatt and Emyr. From the get-go, Wyatt came across as a person with a lot of unhealed trauma, living in survival mode. A lot of people project their expectations on to Wyatt when all he really wants is for people to see him as the person he is. Besides that, he's very much a teen. He makes impulsive choices and doesn't oversee the long-term consequences. What I appreciated in his character arc is that Wyatt does manage to develop more empathy towards his best friend, Briar and FiancĂ©e, Emyr. Acknowledging that he was so wrapped up in his own trauma that he wasn't actually capable of being a good friend. That's the growth that I love to see! 

What I would have liked to see more of is more in-depth worldbuilding into the Fae and Witch dynamic. How come the fae came to hate Witches when they are their literall offspring?
