I went into this book with low expectations and sadly I have to admit that my initial feelings were right in this case. I really appreciate that we all got the chance to get this book for free during one of the stuff your kindle days - I love reading books by less known authors and I know it's a great way for them also to reach new readers - but I will most likely not pick up another book by this author.
The cover already threw me off - hence the low expectations - but I decided to still give this book a chance. As much as I wanted to, I really didn't enjoy this read. The world building was lacking for me as were the characters. The romance progressed way too quickly - yes I know this is a novella but still - and didn't feel real whatsoever. I really couldn't feel a connection between these two characters. The writing was a bit odd. It didn't really "flow" that well for me. Maybe I just didn't vibe with author's writing style and that's totally ok. Someone else might find it great. It just wasn't for me personally.
I would have liked more details about the different fae species. We get a rough outline about them but I would have loved exploring this whole world a bit more. Hence why I said the world building was lacking in my eyes. Some things also didn't really make sense. I feel like there were quite a few plot holes or just things that didn't really make sense or fit into this whole fantasy setting. Again, maybe just personal preferences. Another thing that bothered me was how predictable everything was. It obvious right from the start who the "enemy" is and what's going to happen.
