4 stars — In general I loved the way Mya and Drav’s story resolved. There were definitely moments where I wanted to slap Mya…okay, a lot of moments (*cough* Ryan supply run *cough*). But I loved seeing the Dark Fae learn about human customs and adapt to our world. They were so earnest, you couldn’t help but love them, even as they made me LAUGH AND LAUGH with their obsessive focus. Some of those conversations just killed me, I can’t even.
I actually really appreciated the way a bunch of little threads were brought back in, including the exiles. I didn’t expect that, but I really loved what these authors did with that.
Again, as with the previous books, the love story is probably something I shouldn’t have fallen for, but I totally did. It’s not a normal relationship, especially since it had a bit of stockholm quality to the beginning, but I just really loved the way they desperately loved and cared for one another. It was addicting. And sometimes it’s kind of nice to let go of realism and just accept what you’re given.
I also really fell in love with quite a few of the other Fae, and am actually really excited that there are spin off books for each one I loved the most (Ghua, Kerr, and Shax). I can definitely see wanting to read their books, though a part of me wants to wait to see if they get made into audiobooks b/c Ms. Rosenberg really did grow on me as a narrator. Decisions decisions.
So yeah. I will admit that there were parts that felt kinda hokey, but in the end I was sucked right into the world and compelled to keep reading. That’s success right there.
