Kiss the Fae by Natalia Jaster

4.0

I have been obsessed with reading books about Fae lately, and this one did not disappoint. I was a bit skeptical at first since the main characters reminded me a lot of Jude and Cardan(both I cannot stand) so I was worried I wouldn’t like this book, but I really liked the story and the world.

Lark enters the world of the Fae to escape poachers along with her sisters. Because of this, they are now forced into a bargain with the Fae. Basically, each have to play a game. Win and they’re set free. But lose, you die. In Lark’s situation, she’s sent to the ruler of the sky’s kingdom where she has to navigate a labyrinth and survive to the end to win. Cerulean, ruler of the sky, does not make it easy.

What I really liked about this book is how Natalia Jaster describes everything! I felt like I was in Alice in Wonderland and I felt like I could see and sense everything Lark did. Her descriptions are on point, and made the world utterly fascinating.

I honestly was not a huge fan of either Lark or Cerulean, although I love the way Cerulean spoke with his non-stop use of alliterations, it was great! They definitely were meant for each other, both rather vulgar, very tough, pushing each other to do and be better. The romance was okay to me, there was a lot, and I mean A LOT of steaminess in this book, but I felt the romance was a bit lackluster.

Overall, I give this book a 3.5 ⭐️ rating. I mainly loved the way it was written and the world more than anything. If you love Fae that are similar to Folk of the Air, I do recommend it!
