dark mysterious tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was way better than the first book. Clearly her editors worked with her on the repetition and put more into the actual dialogue. Not a mind-blowing book, but I like the characters, the romance, and the world building.

💭Thoughts:

I don’t think my soul will know peace until January when the next book comes out 🫠

I loved this second installment of the Faebound Trilogy. We’re roped back into the dynamics we love and introduced to new dynamics to adore. Meeting Alder, experiencing Furi’s grief, learning more about the plight of the Lightless 🤌 I can already feel the book hangover 😮‍💨
