allthetrees 's review for:

Faebound by Saara El-Arifi
3.5
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I was yelling at the characters at the end about:
How dense are the elves to have never put it together that the new Crescent army battle magic was the Fae, and that they obviously were involved in the war aboveground? And how did they not know Komi was the Two Bladed Tyrant!
There wasn't too many surprises in the book , but I appreciated that it wasn't complex which made it easy to keep up with and fun to make predictions. And then satisfying when those predictions came true.

A little too much warmongering in the book for my taste though, Yeeran drives me nuts with this.
Also enemy to lover storylines just don't cut it for me.


Also just give me a story about Golan, I could stop here with everyone else's story lol. 
Actually, I still want to know why Pila wants to return to the "Elven" lands with Yeeran. Who is this obeah? And where is the last human? They got to be around still too.
