A main character with blood on her hands and a world with sexy, charming fae? Sign me right up!
I expected just another plain story with the court system, but Victoria pulled through with cool and original world-building, characters and just writing style in general.
The world is well described and developed, with a tyrannical, asshat monarch and different villages all ruled by him. The only thing that could aid would be a map!
The characters are very likeable and I felt very connected to them, I cared for them so much in just a few pages. They’re happy, I’m happy. They’re sad, I’m sad. The relationships between them worked well, they were realistic, not rushed or forced. Chemistry between certain characters was *chefs kiss* and inside jokes and lines made me smile from ear to ear.
The writing style itself was also beautiful. Easy to read, flowed wonderfully, descriptive in all the right places.
The plot was also unpredictable and the twist and turns had me sitting at the edge of my seat, sobbing. All the surprises and changes made it that much more enjoyable to read.
I love every aspect of this book (especially baker Holt) and definitely one of the best High Fantasy books I’ve ever had the pleasure to read!
