I do not like age gaps, but for the most part it was not terrible.

Remy being the missing fae princess was not that big of a surprise. However, her having two living siblings was a surprise. And then, her getting her brother back to just have him die was devastating. Her younger sister being so aloof was so sad. Her relationship with Heather and Frenin was so sweet, but Heather sacrificing herself to save Remy was heartbreaking. I liked the friendship that developed between Remy and Hale's warriors. And that the prince of the North being an ally was surprising. Hale was great. I got over the age gap pretty quickly because he didn't treat her like she was only 19, and she acted older, mostly because of the trauma. Her taking her place as the Queen of the Mountain Court was a good ending and it set things up nicely for a sequel.

This had action, adventure, revenge, romance, and magic. If it weren't for the age gap it would have been a 5* read. However, I cannot wait to read the next one!
