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 Fiancée, 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?

this book tore me apart, put me back together, and ripped me apart again just for fun.
the entire story is a work of art. i wish i could read this book for the first time again. the twists it takes are horrible and beautiful. it dives into grief and the feeling of being trapped in your own body. there’s something so beautiful about the way friendship and human connection are expressed throughout the story.
please read if you want a beautiful depiction of sexuality, gender identity, anger, grief, and the reality of love. <3
