Fae Away by Rose Garcia

4.0

I really liked the unique story about the Fae.

This story follows Celyse who is the daughter of the High King and High Queen of Faevenly. The Fae and humans are enemies ever since the Great Shimmer War that occurred hundreds of years ago when humans tried to take from the Fae. She lives in the land of the Fae which is parallel to our human world and they have these floating orbs called Shimmers that are portals into the human world. Celyse happens upon one and meets a human boy Julio. They talk for six months and then she cuts off contact since she knew she should not speak with the enemy as her family always says about humans. When she turns eighteen, she is to start the year of being courted. Things do not go quite as planned and she ends up using a portal to the human world right to Julio because she gets information that humans are being taken by the Fae and she's determined to get answers and help.

I liked the idea of the Fae world being parallel to ours and they have these orbs they use for portals to access the human world. There are five ruling provinces in Faevenly with Celyse's house being the High ruling house. She has a twin sister Malena who seems to be the opposite of Celyse. Malena is much more ambitious and power hungry like her mother. Celyse is more like her father, a bit of an introvert, but very kind and caring.

Celyse was bit boring and bland for a character to me, but I really like how she did not allow others to affect her thoughts and opinions, such as for the humans. She wants to help them and her people, even if it goes against her family. I did really like the romance between her and Julio. It is very sweet and cute and I was just rooting for them the whole time.

This book had a lot of sudden moments and twists in it as well that were unexpected and shocking since I did not expect some of the sudden events that occurred. If you love books with Fae, then I recommend this one!

I received an advance review copy for free(thank you to BookSirens and the author), and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
