Songs of Vice by Nicole Bailey
3.0
I would rate this 3.5 stars if I could, but I'll settle on 3. While I was engaged throughout and I liked the world building (although similar to many other fae tales), I didn't buy into the characters very much and I wish they were more fleshed out/relationships not rushed.
Plot:
The Seelie prince stole Prasanna’s prince’s zevar, a magical stone that allows faes to focus and channel their powers, Sai and his group of fae mercenaries are tasked with infiltrating the Seelie palace and retrieving their prince’s zevar. On the road, they met Lira, a young siren who is desperate to escape from her mother, and they decide to all work together temporarily since Lira’s magic could help them during their mission, and Lira will need money to be able to escape far away from her mother’s reach.
This book has a one bed and heist tropes, non-binary representation, multiple POVs and more.
I definitely want to read the next book and I hope Sai and Lira take their time to build a solid foundation and have the slow burn I would have wanted in this book.
