When Dax smiled, I smiled. 

The trials begin

Sky is now in the inner Kingdom with the high fae almost ready to face her first trial. 

In all this Sky’s relationship with Dax has evolved. Their romance is beautiful to read. I love them together. I love Dax. Their relationship was gold. It’s a slow burn, but it burns right. I cried when a part of the book was confirmed like I thought it would go. I was so happy. Happy tears. 

In the midst of their evolving relationship, you have an evil queen who will take from Dax his power for herself. 

There is tension in this book among the princes and the Queen. There are plot twists in this book, there are challenges, new characters and some rich descriptions of the inner kingdom. In all this, something is brewing in the air and I can’t wait for book 3 to see how everything will unfold. 

The growth that Skyler showed was impressive. Book one was heartbreaking with what she went through and in book two we got to see her rebuild her strength and mind. 

I loved this book. I cried. Give me book 3. I’m in love. 

Castor was a masterpiece and one of the best parts of this book, he made the book rich. He was funny. His humor amazing. All their side characters added to the book. Found family was strong in this one.
