”The darkness is your closest friend, but it’s time to let it go.”

This retelling of the first novel FAR exceeded my expectations!

(I still cannot believe that I had such a wondrous — and at times painful — time reading about these events that I already knew the outcome of…)

Going into this novel, I was a bit worried that my decision to read “The Awakening: as Told by the Boys” before ”Ruthless Fae” would prove to be an unwise one because I would be interrupting the flow the story (therefore potentially sending me into a slump if I didn’t end up enjoying ”The Awakening: as Told by the Boys”).

Now that I’ve finished the novel it’s clear to me that I did in fact make the correct decision by reading this first! (yayyy 🥳)

Getting to see everything that the male characters were up to during the events of TA was an eye-opening experience, and I’m sooo glad that I got more insight into their personal lives as well as their thought processes (especially Caleb’s) during all of the chaos…

ੈ✩‧₊˚

I’m just itching to begin “Ruthless Fae“ and continue this story! ♡

P.S. Orion still owns my heart.

This is the spice i was looking for in the awakening. I really liked seeing the guys perspectives though I feel like this book dragged a bit. Their thoughts felt a bit repetitive and i found myself losing interest at points, but im glad i read this before continuing on with the series so i know where they are at too

I had such a fun time getting the Heirs’ perspective of ZA1. Firstly reading Lance & Darius trying to blame anything else besides their own damn feelings on being instantly drawn to Tory & Darcy and going crazy for them just thinking about them. Low key simps. I thought the authors did a great job and giving us insight as to why the boys would do what they did and making them a little more forgiveable… they’re still little assholes tho LOL. Ugh I need book seven now PLS… but I guess I’ll finish my series reread first.
