I was so looking forward to Viori’s story. Where had Kaysar’s little sister disappeared to all those years ago? How did she survive on her own when she was so young, scared, and unprepared for the world? We get those answers in this story. With those answers we see why Viori aka Vee is untrusting, quick tempered, and unforgiving. We also learn that Kaysar is not the only one that has been searching for her, there is a fae named Micah who has also been obsessed with finding Viori for a very long time.
There is a lot to learn about both Viori and Micah in the beginning of the book. It’s all interesting and all things I wanted to know and eventually needed to know. Yet, somehow, the first half of this book crawled by for me. The duo obviously has a very strong connection and the chemistry is extremely well written. Maybe that was actually the problem, though. There were a lot of almost moments for them and it was hard for me to believe they wouldn’t give into that pull after a while.
Vee is a tough pill to swallow. Like I said before, it’s understandable once you know the things she’s been through. Micah is almost as stubborn as Vee, and almost as untrusting. It made it very difficult for these two to connect on an emotional level since they both have such high and thick walls up. The bits where they let one another in and actually shared were delightful and warm.
Even with it’s slow start, I still really enjoyed this story. The last half was fully engaging. I’m totally enamored with this world and cannot wait to see what happens next.
