Alright, friends, this one's a keeper.
We have new characters! I stan for Misha, and you should too.
We have redemption! But whose do I mean?
We have magic and fighting and war and history!
We have frustrations and ships!
We have the answers to our mysteries!
(We also have the tiniest bit of cliche plot, but hey, it turned out well.)
This book picks up directly after the last, so we get to see just how Brie feels about Sebastian's choices (spoilers: she doesn't feel great xD). The kingdoms are reeling after the death of King Mordeus and Sebastian's trickery. Meanwhile, Queen Sun of the Mean Girl squad is getting up to the same awful things. Only now the curse has been lifted. The Seelie are vulnerable once more, while the Unseelie have gained their powers back. War rages and fae are left to pick sides or flee. But it's the innocents who suffer the most.
Can Sebastian hold the Unseelie throne? Will Brie give in to the bond? Will they ever stop lying to Brie? Do we get the sex scene we all want? Buy the book and find out!
Thank you to Edelweiss and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC!

It was great...until it wasn't
Once the big revelation hit, it went downhill. The ending seems rushed, the conversation between Bash and Mommy dearest, and honestly everything after that point became too much of Disney ending.

I enjoyed the plot twists near the end of this book but I spent most of it just rolling my eyes at the main characters. I don’t think it’s a spoiler since Bash and Finn are still behaving exactly as they did in the first book. Bash insisting he wants to be a good king but he doesn’t even know what’s going on in his own kingdom, and he insists on forcing himself (emotionally, mostly) on Brie no matter how many times she says no. Finn insisting he wants what’s good for the kingdom even if that’s not him, but not if it means he has to see Brie with Bash, and he keeps playing stupid games even though he knows Brie already has very justifiable trust issues. Brie not seeming to actually like either of them, just lusting after their bodies. I was legit hoping one of the three would die because it was just too frustrating to watch. The solution surprised me but happened so fast and without much afterward that it wasn’t completely satisfying. But definitely better than where I thought it was going.
