I found this enjoyable to read, even if just to wrap up the story, but I did find myself overlooking some flaws despite my enjoyment.
Pros:
Pros:
- Interesting and easy to follow plot
- A love triangle where the other man is not an unredeemable villain
- Some sweet and tender moments mixed in
- Any interactions with Misha, since he was hilarious
Cons
- Too quickly and conveniently wrapped up
- Both MMCs lost their character/individuality
- There was too much cheesiness/corniness in some of the romantic scenes
- The amount of fishing and reassurance required by Brie in the romance scenes were ridiculous - especially since she gave nothing back in comparison
- The power and Fae abilities of the main characters (Brie, Misha, Finn) felt inconsistent and underdeveloped
- The early dialog scenes were too long, particularly when contrasted with quick wrapped-up-in-a-bow ending
- Much more minor than the other points, but I hated the use of "male" when Brie described the love interests - left me a little icky even though I know it was trying to diffentiate them as fae

THROWING UP
After the events of These Hollow Vows, Abriella's whole world is changed. She has been betrayed by those she thought loved her and now has to figure out how she fits into this new world.
This book was amazing. There is so much world-building that took place, I could see this book in my mind. I could not put it down. Abriella is amazing and a badass, I love her. The romance is slow but so good!
No words can possibly describe how much I loved this book. I wish I could read this series for the first time, I want more books.
