Solid introduction into the series. I always love a badass main character! Plus the world of Faerie is so interesting to learn about :O. As of this book my favorite character is Vivi and I won’t disclose my least favorite for spoiler purposes…

(Spoiler for ending at the end of the review)

I deeply enjoyed this book, once I picked it up it was almost impossible for me to put it down. I think the only times I was able to put it down was when I had to go to work lmao.

I don’t have any qualms with this book, I almost got a Game of Thrones feel from it because of the twist & turns it seems to take. I believe all the little mysteries or details that had been brought up at some point were wrapped up well enough at the end. Although I had a feeling of what the ending would be, I can’t say it took away from the experience for me -
after all Cardan being crowned made the most sense in the end even if he’s just keeping the throne ready for Oak to take his place eventually.

Anyway, I’d give this a solid 5 stars- I really enjoyed my time with this book.

I am typically pretty good about guessing how a book proceeds next and this one caught me off guard a few different times in an enjoyable way. The clues were typically there if I took the time to think about it. The book is fast-paced which I appreciate for a book that only has one character's POV the entire time.

While I think the author is very skilled in the narration, I just can’t get into the story. Furthermore, knowing that Jude and Carden are supposed to have a romance is more of a turn off. This just isn’t a book for me, and that’s okay, but I can’t really say I can get behind a book that sets up the love interest as a walking piece of shit.

I did however really enjoy the narrator’s performance.
