For a first print run, this first book in Briar Boleyn’s new ‘Blood of a Fae’ series is incredibly well done. There were noticeable grammatical errors/spelling errors that did take me out of the story in the beginning… but as the story went on and continued to pull me further in, they became a LOT less noticeable. I will also say that unfortunately, for me, Vesper’s character twist/plot twist was quite predictable. He was too good to be true 😫. On the flip side though, I still felt so much shock/anger/betrayal for Morgan when we found out what Vesper had wanted all along. I also didn’t predict that he worked for the King, so that all very well made up for the predictability of Vesper’s twist! Waiting on books 2 and 3 to arrive on Friday — I can’t wait, I think it will only go up from here!!!
