Rogue's Pawn by Jeffe Kennedy
3.0
An engaging story about a woman who finds herself in a strange land full of magic.
"Gwyn" is having a life crisis, feeling unhappy and questioning her choices, and drives away from everything to get some clarity. Instead, she ends up in what looks to be Faerie, under the less than tender mercy of powerful beings and in possession of powers of her own that she does not know how to control.
I didn't know what to expect of the story going in and I was pleasantly surprised by some pretty witty dialogue and Gwyn's sometimes amusing way of thinking. She's mostly ignorant about every part of her new life and I sometimes felt that she didn't try hard enough to get answers, and made assumptions that led to her ending up in worse scrapes until she finally found her footing. I wasn't particularly surprised to find out that, but it wasn't badly done, despite the many questions that remain unanswered.
I am not a huge fan of the fae, and much of what I dislike about them is present here too, as well as a few bits and pieces that did not make much sense to me, but I enjoyed the story overall and I am curious to see what happens next in [b:Rogue's Possession|18428749|Rogue's Possession (Covenant of Thorns, #2)|Jeffe Kennedy|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1378151598s/18428749.jpg|26069957].
