challenging dark emotional fast-paced

June, 2022
Read yet again, third time and this book / world DOES NOT get old. Cannot recommend it enough.
***

This book does a fabulous job of demonstrating Thorn’s amazing skill; a skill that is clearly growing the more she uses it at that.

This is a dark, omegaverse read and it contains dubcon and a hierarchy you might not appreciate if you’re close-minded or sensitive or easily triggered, so consider this a warning if you can’t handle such things.

That said, it’s epically, brilliantly done and throughout the read, I couldn’t help but marvel at Thorn’s talent. The reader is treated to multiple, alternating POV and may find themselves rooting for everyone whose POV they’re treated to … yet each one’s goals/ life mission / contradicts at least one of the others’. You’ll be kept on your toes for sure. It’s fast-paced and complex at times, due to the nature of the fortune fae and their realm. I strongly recommend having read [b:Elemental Fae Academy: The Complete Trilogy|50668942|Elemental Fae Academy The Complete Trilogy|Lexi C.

The more familiar you are with this world and some of the other fae realms, the easier it’ll be to grasp, as it all becomes second nature eventually.

As someone who’s been treated to a few scenes with Gina now, thanks to the books I already mentioned, plus [b:Elemental Fae Holiday: A Why Choose Paranormal Romance|56188289|Elemental Fae Holiday|Lexi C. Foss|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1607325920l/56188289._SY75_.jpg|75132972], I was extremely amused by finally reading in her POV. Much of what other people find frustrating about her is really just her trying to be helpful. They think she’s sort of flakey, or off in the clouds, but she actually deeply ponders things first. Brilliant character development, continuity and perspective. Again, demonstrates extreme talent on Thorn’s part.


Mmmmmm no. Very poor execution on “dub con”…keyword being consent. this is not it. The men are trash

It's trash but it's good trash
