The Falconer: A Sweeping Historical Fantasy Like You've Never Read Before, Full of Magic, Mystery and Slow-Burn Romance

This book is good. It's really good. So exciting that I could hardly put it down. But the ending is the worst. It wouldn't be so bad if the other books were out already, but they absolutely are not. And basically, the book doesn't end. It stops. Argh! So yeah, I'd say definitely worth reading, but be prepared to be really mad when you're done.

Firstly, there is nothing particularly surprising about the characters or storyline in this one if you are used to reading fae fantasy. Derrick the pixie is the best. There is some witty banter, especially with Derrick. It was entertaining, but doesn’t standout from similar stories. The narrator was good. She’s performed other books I’d like to listen to.

Confession: I barely skimmed the last three pages. I got through 80% of mind-numbingly dull book, was willing to add it to the DNF pile, and decided to just see how it ended. Or rather, how it didn't end. That's not a cliff hanger. That's a missing final chapter.

Pls don't make fae/human love triangles. It humanizes your fae. That's a misuse of your fairy tale creature.

If you like your tropes tropey and your FMCs fiery and your love triangles pointless, and your plot as fast as a snail in a snow storm, you'll be into this. Otherwise, maybe skip it.
