A Fair Deception by Lyndsey Hall, Lyndsey Hall

4.0

You know how sometimes you're eating dinner and you get a smell of something that goes away quickly but you know smelt good? That's kind of how I would describe this book.

A Fair Deception is a prequel to The Fair Chronicles (a series which I will admit, I have not read yet) and is also a novella, therefore making it a quick read. I was intrigued with the overall plot and felt like the backstories of the two characters would be interesting to follow, especially since I love multi-perspective novels.

However, in some circumstances, I wish that the storyline had been fleshed out more. There were familial connections that I wish had been explored more, character emotions that could have been delved into, and more time spent with the characters as they bonded.

In saying this, I did enjoy this novella and will look into the Fair Chronicles series as I am excited to see how a full-length novel will explore some of these concepts (even though I know the series does not focus on Daya and Lonan.)
