Shades of Power was my first faerie fantasy book and I loved it. The world building was so amazing, I could picture everything in my mind so clearly. I especially loved how all the Faeries spend 2 years living in the human world to learn how to better protect them. I also really liked how each shade of magic corresponded to their unique gifts. Opal was our FMC and she never developed her Shade, and she was worried what that meant for her future. We have 2 MMC’s, Farris a human that frequented the coffee shops CAFFEINE that the faeries ran and we have Edmyn Prince of the Night Court. Both these guys have things that make Opal interested in them (and yes they were both hot). There are so many details I want to scream about but I don’t want to ruin the discovery of them while reading. If you are looking for a captivating fantasy read with love, action, heartbreak and some spice sprinkled in, then pick up Shades of Power and get ready for a ride.
