Taken by Katerina Martinez

4.0

Welcome to the fantasy version of the Bachelor.

While I'm not a fan of the show, I did actually like Taken. Like might even be a bad word because I ended up devouring this book. In it, you will meet Dahlia. She's a human living a material world. Well, wait - that's wrong. She deals with material in the world. Yes, she's a seamstress and makes clothes for mages. A bunch of asshole mages.

Then one day, she's kidnapped and thrown into a trial to win the prince's hand. Long story short, she doesn't belong in this world because she's human. When they find out, well, it won't be good. At all. So, she's thrown into these trials with zero preparation. The only good thing she has is Gullie, her pixie.

It's interesting that no one knows who she is and I'm speaking human-wise. Then again, what the prince said at the end has me confused. I'm wondering if Dahlia is her real name or if she truly is part Fae. Or full Fae. Honestly, I have so many questions because we don't have all the information.

In the end, I'm so intrigued by fate and destiny. Mostly because the prince keeps freaking saying it to her. Like what is up guy. Tell us the truth already. I need answers and I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel.
