This book had me throwing theories out left and right. I was on the edge of my seat as Brie's journey with Sebastian and Finn unfolded. All of the twists and turns that you embark on as Brie tries to save her sister from the Unseelie King has my mind reeling. And the ending? It made me need to pick up the second book to this duology IMMEDIATELY.

It was good, but sometimes it missed that little part to “oh my god i need to continue reading, i can’t stop”. But at some point it took turn after turn and i couldn’t put it away. Easy to read.

ACOTAR meets The Cruel Prince, only better. The storytelling was honestly genius and the cliffhanger is stunning, I need the second book immediately.

There were a couple of times where I was confused by things that seemingly made no sense, or felt too rushed, but other than that this story is so well done. I was hooked immediately with the Cinderella style beginning. But then it just became something else entirely. I was honestly stunned at some of the twists that happened.

I enjoyed this book for the fae drama and the struggles with the romance but other than that it really wasn't that great of a read for me. I didn't find the character development enjoyable and the plot didn't kick in until the last thirty percent of the book or so.

Even though one of the big plot points was getting MC's sister back, she's completely forgotten about often throughout the progression of the story.

  All in all it was enjoyable but not one of my favorite reads.
