This was wattpad level trash and the sex scenes weren't even worth it. Also SJM ruined fae lore. Fae are supposed to be epic and whimsical, all she did was make them sus

This book surprised me so much! It pulled me from a years-long reading slump. This is such a unique story that I’ve never read before. The author has fresh ideas with twists and turns you’ll never see coming. I could barely put it down ! If you like fantasy, you need to read this book!

Feb 2022: 4.5⭐️
A great first book of this series setting up the characters and the realms.
The book is a little beauty and the beast, a little game of thrones, a little twilight and a little Harry Potter all rolled into one. 
There were times when the story actually gave me goosebumps whilst reading it and I enjoyed the story arc.
Some really great character development, with a strong female MC and some strong male characters I’m looking forward to seeing more of, but there’s also some not so great character development (Tamlin). 
I am excited to see how the series progresses in the next book.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.

Nov 2023 re-read: 4.5⭐️
