3.5/5
This book did a number on me. I don't think there was one moment in this first book in which I felt good. There were numerous triggers, the turn of events constantly made me feel negative emotions, and I feel that the ending was the only time that I felt I was able to come up gasping for air. If this is what the author intended, then Sutton did an amazing job, but I debated not finishing this book because it put me into such a depressive state. The ending pulled me in enough that I might consider moving to the next book in Sutton's series, but I need a break...

A high 3.5. Although the first half was hard to get though, the second half got me. It was so good!! I absolutely fell in love with Fortuna, and cannot wait to see where she goes next. I’m curious but also hesitant to see what’s next. Pain and suffering, I’m assuming? Can’t wait!

This book follows Fortuna whose brother is stolen by fae, she agrees to marry a fae in order to get her brother back and obviously there are a lot of strings attached that she did not realise (eye roll) she finds out shes married like the unseelie king. Things ensue from here.

Undecided of how I feel about this book. I have attempted to read it twice and the third time I finished and still felt unsure of what I think. Its so hard with book 1 in a series, especially a fantasy series as there is so much to learn and unfold. Going with my gut right at this moment I don't think it was that great. Thinking back on it I wasn't super intrigued, it was a very typical kind of fantasy plot. I want so badly to love it but I just don't think its for me sadly.

The ending made the book imo. It started off strong and ended strong but the middle dragged a bit. Maybe it was just the Audio version idk but took me almost a month to finish. But I will definitely keep reading the series bc I really want to know what happens!!
