This second book in S.O. Callahan's "Fella" series takes place shortly after the end of the previous Fella Enchanted. While Fella Enchanted focused a lot on learning more about Peter and his life Fella Ever After is very much Breck focused with his upcoming ceremony to welcome him into the Seelie court. But, before that, a road trip for our boys. Henry has sent a request from Sarah's family's costal estate requesting that Peter bring his horse team along to the estate. It is several days away and the letter encourages that Peter bring someone along with him and then stay a while after the journey...maybe a certain miller?

This book was everything you could ask for in a sequel. There is no secret that I find Peter and Breck swoony as hell and that does not let up a single bit in this book. I find the two of them effortlessly charming and Peter as a main character is a really cozy place to be narratively. Henry, Anne and Finna continue to be absolute gems whom I love and will protect with every ounce of my being.

I would 100% read like 50 more books with these characters if the author wanted to write them.

Thank you to the author for gifting me with an ARC of Fella Ever After in exchange for my honest review. Be sure to pick up a copy when it is released on 10/21/22.

What a beautiful sequel to a wonderful first book. I've said this in my review for Fella Enchanted, but I'll say it again: the writing is so unassuming and at the same time so detailed, that you're instantly transported inside those pages. Everything is painted in such vivid colours that it's honestly breathtaking.

The second book in the series focuses on Breck's past and his fast approaching 21st birthday and what that means for both him and Peter. I loved it so much. Their relationship is so real and raw, I don't know. The affection they have for each other spills trough every word.

Once again I was delighted we didn't get any unnecessary drama or stupid conflict that kept them away from each other. There are some ups and downs, but they get over everything smoothly, because they have each other.

This is such a sweet and tender lover story. And that epilogue! Perfection.

4,5 stars.
It’s a really nice story. Not a lot of angst (but there is some), not a lot of heat (but there is some). Beautifully written characters and supporting characters. Good story and character’s relationships development. Nice world building. Loved it.

Fella Ever After 

The sequel to Fella Enchanted picks up just after the first book ends. This time the story focuses on Peter learning to navigate changes in his life and figuring out how his new awareness of magic and his relationship with Breck will work with everything else. There is a lot more focus on Breck and the magical world in this book, and we are given more answers for mysteries previously left unsolved. Meaning more absolutely enchanting magic, and fairies, and traditions and ceremonies! Also an attempt at a romantic road trip and sea side holiday! 
 This book was so deeply romantic and special and intimate. I love the intimacy of deep friendships in these books. The love of family, whether found or by blood, and how you can love people in many ways, and from any distance. 

When you buy or borrow Fella Enchanted, which you should absolutely do, you might as well get Fella Ever After at the same time, because you will 100% want to pick one up right after the other, as I did! 

I would read as many books in this world as you wanted to write, Shannon!
