The High Mountain Court lured me in with the promise of a diverse cast of fae and witches and a Steamy Romance. Let me tell you that it did not disappoint! I’ve always loved stories with the fae in them, but I’ve long grown bored of how often the story gets bland when there is so little representation (please share diverse fae recommendations if you have any!). The High Mountain Court is such a refreshing change from all of the other fae books that I’ve read with a romance just as steamy as I could hope for!
Thirteen years ago, Remy fled her home to escape genocide, now she might be the only red witch left alive and she is determined to stay that way. When the handsome Prince Hale of the Eastern Kingdom finds Remy and discovers her secret, he commissions her help to stop a war with the Northern Court, the same people who slaughtered Remy’s home court. But can she trust Prince Hale? Is this worth coming out of hiding and risking losing her cover?
The High Mountain Court is a stunning story full of court politics, a diverse world of fae, witches, and magic, a rich history, lost & found family, and romance. A kick-butt debut romance from an incredible new author. Remy is a character that you will want to grow with throughout her journey and Hale will continually remind you that relationships are best when you grow and learn together. Their relationship is so sweet and I adored how it grew into what it did. The way that they work together and get to know each other was the perfect build-up to make the steamy scenes pay off even more!

I’m very conflicted about this book, I liked the fast pace of it and the found family & enemies to lovers tropes. I really wanted to love it, the plot sounded really good, but it was just not for me.

Complicated
The first two thirds of the book was really promising for a start to a series, but then for some reason the author felt the need to cram in 5 different twists and rush what could have been a compelling and emotion provoking story had any of the characters been given a chance to develop. It seems to me that this whole first book could have been the series in and of it self. I just didn't feel like any of the emotional moments were earned, and the twists felt out of left field given what we are shown in the first two thirds of the book. Probably wont finish the series, but also not the worst book ive read.
Got 10% in and just DNF.
Wasn’t captivating, in writing or characters.
