Please look up content warnings for this book, it deals with some pretty dark topics and the version I had did not have any content warnings in it.
1) There is no content warning and this NEEDED to have one.
- There is a fucking
concentration camp in it and there was no warning about it before we find out about it. We find out about it in Chapter 15. - Emotional manipulation is a super big thing in this book, there is no warning about that.
-
Like the entire character of Ronan/Sebastian should have had a content warning
-
-
Once we learned that Prince Ronan was missing I instantly knew that Sebastian was Ronan. It was too obvious to me after we had it stated that Sebastian was going away the night after the first day of the ball.
3) The naming system of this world. Characters and the land.
- We had the Seelie lands, the Unseelie lands and the Wild Fae lands... This just felt too basic for me.
- Then there are the characters.
- Let's start with the main character's nickname, Brie. That is a cheese, a rather smelly cheese. I may or may not have just started calling her cheese girl.
- The two love interests! We have Ronan/Sebastian and... Finnian. I was left slightly disappointed by these.
- Finnian's uncle is called Mordred or something like that and his father was called Oberon. I expected more considering the name of the people around them.

And the ending was not satisfying for me. I guessed a lot of what was going to happen by chapter 10 and almost everything else by chapter 19.
This felt like the miscommunication trope to the extreme which has never been a favorite. There were so many places where honesty could have made a better story.
