Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  Anniik | Apr 30, 2022 |   If not for needing to finish this out of respect, I would have stopped early on. I could not find myself interested in this. The writing was a bit off for me, where I wasn't into this story. I liked the summary, but it fell flat and didn't live up to the expectations I had. Also seemed to drag on and the good stuff - if that - wasn't until near the end and even then it was rushed. People comparing it to Cruel Prince must be right because I couldn't enjoy that book, either. I don't think I'd want to read anymore in this series. 😕 (  ) dndizzle | Apr 23, 2022 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This book was pretty good. Not perfect, but definitely a good start. It is the story of a regular teenage girl who discovers that she is the heir to a fae crown, and that the world around her is nothing like she thought it was. It is well written and fast-moving.
I liked the setting of the book. I spent several years living on the coast of North Florida and the wild places through there can definitely feel like a far realm. I am so liked the fact that the main character is bisexual. There’s a lot of bisexual invisibility in the literary world, and I liked the fact that this book didn’t run from it at all. I also liked learning a little bit about the author’s fae world, since there are so many mythologies, all a bit different.
I didn’t like the constant referring to men and women as ‘males’ and ‘females’. It didn’t fit the book and was really jarring. I can’t see that it was the least bit necessary.
I also was uncomfortable with the incest subplot that could easily have been made into something a bit less horrific without ruining the flow of the book. And finally, I thought that the trials were given way too little time - they don’t even start until 90% through the book. And even that was broken by strange bouts of exposition in the middle of a fight for your life.
All in all, this book was pretty good. It’s not my favorite book I read this year, but it’s not the worst, either. (
