Loved it!

I loved this story and can’t wait to get the next in the series. Fantastic world building, character development, and plot and performance!

The Journey

I loved the journey Wallace took me on. I wish the next one was out on audible! One of the best fae books I have read 😊

Slow Burn Fantasy

I enjoyed this book. It gave me slight ACOTAR vibes but with a different sort of storyline. It definitely kept me interested and I can’t wait for the next one.

amazing world building.

This was an exciting trip into Elfhame, where Kelera is forced to go and try to rescue her best friend after she is kidnapped by one of the Fae princes. Of course, nothing goes according to plan and she herself becomes stuck there.

Samiel is ruthless in his fight for power, and isn't afraid to use everyone else for his gains. While Kelera is better off under another prince, Adrastus, there seems to be a fight for everything between the brothers, especially Kelera's company.

As she learns information about her own heritage and Samiel's horrible plans, Kelera finds herself allying with Adrastus despite his cold demeanor towards her. While they fight for the kingdom of Elfhame, will they also find solace in one another for more than political reasons?

Amazing

Just amazing! The beginning was a little slow but after about chapter two it picked up where I couldn’t put it down. I cannot wait to see what happens now! The narrator was just amazing as well. She did an amazing job!
