This book did nothing I haven’t seen before in fae fantasy book. In fact I was hoping to be wrong about everything, but I wasn’t. 

I also wish they wouldn’t put all the intrigue into the second book. I want a full story in this one please. 
If you’re considering this book, consider instead ACOTAR, Prison Healer, or Lightlark. 

The smut was decent though.

It’s a fun read for sure, but predictable and lacks the world-building needed to really suck you in.

I love this book! 

I could not put it down and finished it fast. 

The writing is excellent, the story is excellent, the characters are fun.

The only reason I knocked off .25 stars if that the ending felt a bit rushed compared to the rest of the book. 

I cannot wait for book 2! 

Expect:
-training
-trials
-mystery
-mouthy FMC
-broody men
-fae
-magic

Overall 4.75/5 stars
Spice 1.5/5

I enjoy the banter and the layers of plot. I go back and forth on liking Lor, but I find myself mostly rooting for her. It was a quick read with a good balance of description and dialogue.

Lord is a compelling character with a heartbreaking story. I had suspicions about some of the characters that proved both right and wrong. I can't wait to read the next book!
