It was ok. The twist at the end was interesting but I didn't get emotionally invested. I didn't fall in love with the characters and overall, it fell a little flat.

I also have to agree with the many other reviewers of this book. The Sexual scenes in this are far too much for YA and it's a disgusting marketing trend. This would have performed just fine as adult fantasy.
Let's stop selling sex to minors ok?

The actual "fantasy" falls completely flat and is riddled with incomplete thoughts and plot holes. The Child Seer is clearly a plot device meant to further the story and its not only confusing and unnecessary, it's lazy.
It's a backdrop for a love triangle and even the relationships aren't flushed out particularly well. The feelings seem to come out of nowhere and the people being betrayed don't particularly care??

Vaguely interesting story if you don't think too hard about it.

I read this book once.

I completely forgot about it and read it another time before realizing I already read it.

After reading it two times, I still have zero clue what this book was about. It's the most generic YA fantasy book I’ve ever read.

'Nuff said.

I really liked this book. It was a really good fae fantasy with humans in it. The twists and turns were very entertaining. Usually I don’t love a love triangle but this one kept me hooked and had me cheering for each of the guys at different times. Very much recommend!

Love Triangle, Magic, Faeries; What's not to love! This book was addicting from the very start! I was hooked in. The audiobook narration is fantastic. The characters are well developed and I love them all. I really enjoy the shadow walking. Can't wait to finish the series!

Overall was a very fun read. Nothing overly special about the book but had a good time reading it. I do wish we got to see more of Finn. I also think the book is a little too fast pace so that I couldn’t get invested in the characters as much as I wanted to. There was also a lot of telling and not showing which I think made the pacing of the book feel a little off. Good but forgettable read.
