The Fae Keeper was a nice conclusion! Loved the character development. I liked that

we got to see the last few chapters through other characters eyes.

I also liked that

Wyatt was forced to acknowledge the pedestal that he put Briar on. It was honestly kinda annoying seeing her through his eyes because she didn’t seem like an actual person… which I understand was the point lol H.E. Edgeman did a good job with writing that perspective and their dynamic.

I have so many mixed feelings about this book. More so in that it made me feel so many things I’m not sure what emotions really were the most prominent. 

Some things that Edgmon did differently in this book from the first I liked. Others I’m not sure if I like simply because it broke pattern. Which is just a personal preference. 

I really liked how certain things finally clicked into place as more was learned. But I also wish that at least a few small things had answers to them before the close. 

While the fates and decisions of some characters made sense, there were one or two that still felt out of sync with everything else. 

All this being said. I am still so glad I listened to this audiobook and finished the duology. But, there are a lot of heavy, heavy things that happen in this book. I would say this is definitely heavier then the first. So please practice self care and awareness when reading.
