I heard so many good things about this book, but unfortunately it dragged for me. The long drawn out descriptions of every single detail made me hesitate to keep turning the pages and the characters were awful.
For the main characters, I hate to say it but I really do not like either of them. You have Saffron, a human on the fey side of the veil, who is treated poorly by everyone and yet somehow you still don't manage to like him. On the other hand, you have Prince Cylvan who is so insufferable I did not want to finish this book.
I started out liking Saffron because of his pure heart, shitty situation, and determination to reach his goals. However, the minute the Prince starts paying attention to him he completely forgets about his friends, the whole Wolf crisis happening in his backyard, and humans in general. He becomes completely enamored with a man WHO FED HIM DRUGGED FAIRY FRUIT and turns selfish in response.
Prince Cylvan was nearly impossible to like. He starts off rude, entitled, and just overall a shitty person. The first impression we have of him is tricking Saffron and then blaming Saffron afterward for it! Not to mention when he feeds drugged fairy fruit to Saffron and then lifts his veil knowing it could cause his death.
The writing felt sloppy, the plot was too jumbled together, and the main characters were not lovable.

Ahhhh what have I done?? Now I must find out what happens... I cried twice while reading this, for different raisins. What a captivating yet cruel fey realm. *pushes aside temptation for new obsession*

Got this in a book box and didn't know what to expect. Overall I really enjoyed it, there were several elements that I really liked and some that I didn't love. The book is a lot more brutal that I was expecting which isn't bad, and there are random moments where too much time is spent describing things which did get a little boring.
I did enjoy the book and the chemistry between the characters but admittedly I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the book regardless of that. I should love it but I feel a little meh, and I'm not even sure I want to continue despite this book ending in such a compelling way. So I will probably adjust my rating in the future if I do decide to continue. I dunno.
