โ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐.โ
This book slapped. I'm sorry if I am a chaotic mess because this book exceeded my expectations!! I AM SATIATED.
This book is described as โACOTAR meets the Great Gatsbyโ and it DELIVERED.
For starters, Iโm a sucker for Celtic Mythology so a lot of the references in this book made me giddy! Iโm a sucker for a historical fiction book as well, so combining the roaring twenties with Fae and romance was so intriguing to me that I had to find out how it would be pulled off. The book was fast-paced and the writing was great. The characters were terrific as well and had all the great elements of a discombobulated found family. The way Marks was able to weave history into the fantasy with adventure and intrigue and twists and turns and ROMANCE was delicious. Jack is THE new book bf and really filled the gaping hole Rhysand has been living in. Boy am I a puddle for an overbearing Fae brute. Then add 1920s charisma and fashionโฆ๐ฅต๐ฅต
Just under five stars, as I feel some things could have been fleshed out a little more and the pacing started to drag around the midway point. There was also a lot of modernity mixed in, despite it being the 1920s, particularly some of the language/way of speaking. I also feel like I still have a lot of questions, but honestly, I think a lot of them will be revealed in later books. Speaking of which, I am now itching for book 2 because of that epilogue. Excuse me while I foam at the mouth from now until book 2 is in my grubby grasp.
