Rebel Fay by Barb Hendee
1.0
I dislike this book because the characters are outstanding stupid. No other word. Stupid. They are in a xenophobic kingdom, surrounded by an expert assassin, many who equal or outclass Leesil and are trained to kill the undead for decades. Yet both of them continuously reprimand, demand, threat, and act so suicidal that it's only for the plot that they are not killed.
Yes, they should be angry, they should be distrustful; yes they must rebel. But telling the comparison of an insane warlord, the elf version of Darmouth in his fortress that he can go fuck himself is just... why? How do they think they can threaten the elves to let them leave with their prisoner or they would die when a fraction of them nearly killed them as it happened during the reunion? Where does the bravado come? How do they expect to force an entire nation, who hates them deeply, into an enchanted forest, when they are outgunned, unmanned, and out planned?
It was just so exasperating seeing them act with such temper tantrums and expect them to be heard. I guess they both are insane from grief and/or life, but it's so exasperating that I honestly just continued reading because I wanted to get to the next novel.
