I really enjoyed this one, but it felt like we never got more than skin deep into the story? I love messy Fae lore, but this wasn’t messy enough for my taste. If The Cruel Prince crossed too many lines for you, this book is probably perfect for you, but it didn’t quite do it for me.

THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD!!
I am so grateful that i received an ARC copy. This is a YA book with zero spice.

This is a fast pasted book with so many twists and turns. This book is about a girl who is chosen to be the mortal queen to the fae. It is an honor to the mortals to be chosen. Their family receives money, and they get to be a queen. Each year, a new mortal queen is chosen. When she gets to the fae lands, she realizes that not everything is as she believed. She and all fae wear masks, deals are currency, and tricks are up everyone's sleeves. There are 7 fae kings, different fae houses, faes have glass hearts that can be broken, and some paintings have messages.
This book kept me entertained, and I could not put it down. There is some romance sprinkled in, and definitely deciet and betrayal like any good fae book. I can not wait for the next book. I have so many unanswered questions.
