I feel so privileged to have been picked to read an advanced copy before this came out yesterday. As soon as I saw the cover I knew it was one that I was going to enjoy. Do you ever find books like that? Let's face it, all we do is judge books by their covers haha.
This series was so fun because it's like Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black got together and had this book baby. Its full of fae and fairies and magic and all the tense political drama you might expect from either of those authors. Plus, do I even have to say it? great romance. I'll say it once, I'll say it a thousand times, if there's no romance I'm not reading it. Okay, that might not be completely true, but it's pretty close haha.
The first book grabbed me right away because it's a forced coupling (which I love). Evelyn is forced to marry a fae king as part of a treaty that keeps the wall between humans and fae intact, thus allowing everyone to live in peace. The continuing of this peace is all Evelyn has ever wanted, so she does her best to go through with it. However, the treaty conditions means her sister has come to marry the fae too, and she seems much less interested in maintaining the treaty for peace... It's such a great adventure with Evelyn trying to figure out what's the most important and if sacrificing yourself will actually save anyone. I really enjoyed it as someone who tends to push myself past my limits for the people I care about in my life. It definitely made me realize I should be willing to hold back sometimes so I don't feel like dying because in the end your loved ones will still love you even if you're not 100%.
Seriously you guys, I pulled some late nights with these ones and I was not disappointed. The only caveat I feel like I need to share is that there are some adult situations (not as bad as Sarah's but more than you'd see in Holly's), so I bare that in mind before allowing younger persons to pick this one up.
