Not a lot of progression plot-wise (nothing much happened about the Heart of Faerie thing). But we did get a bit of progression in the relationship development department—mostly from a one-sided perspective, but still.

Everyone is slowly coming to terms with their feelings and desires but not really making a move yet.

Holy fuck, that cliffhanger, though! I legit wasn't expecting the whole throne room thing to actually happen. The follow-through was a complete surprise. Farie is a fucked up place and both the Winter Queen and Shadow King are cray-cray.

And WTF is up with the Winter Court being all sentient and its magic liking Amiah? Girly is not gonna stay in Winterland having a bunch of royal hybrid babies, is she? That'd actually be nuts.

I wanna see more character growth going forward—and better proofreading, the use of commas is proving to be atrocious.

Hawk seems like the only one that's a well-adjusted individual. Sebastian has commitment issues and is poisoned with demonic magic, Amiah is stuck in her "I'm-weak-and-useless" mentality and having mental break-downs all too often, Cassius is being ruled and overwhelmed by his emotions on an hourly basis and Titus will sooner rather than later have to deal with the fact that this is RH and girly is NOT gonna be solely his, dammit!

Also, demon-vampire samurai anyone? 😉
