Reading this book felt like a rollercoaster ride.
Got really confused about everything at first especially because there were lots of gaps in the beginning. There were times that that I rolled my eyes hard at some parts but in the end I felt like those things married the story together in a way that gave it more depth.
But whew, I did not expect the story to turn that way. Though I have already guessed some parts of the story, the plots twists blew my mind off.Especially how the Fairy King was real. I did not see that one coming. And that bed scene came out of nowhere LMFAO.
