Caught between two dangerous courts, Brie must decide who to trust with her loyalty - and with her heart. I had to think a bit before rating this book because there were things that I really liked and others that not so much, but in general I enjoyed the story so here we go. he is tattooed, disgusting and charming like a napkin, but the main heroine falls in love with him anyway. (though it’s an insult to a napkin that has more characteristics)
Like it did for Fawn.“I won’t,” I promise, but it feels hollow, as if my voice already knows it’s a lie. I’m working all the time and stealing as much as I can get away with, but I can’t keep up. Also, this book is veryyy unoriginal 🙈 I saw a lot of people recommending this saying it was similar to acotar and i could definitely see lots of similarities to both acotar and throne of glass. The way Lexi Ryan wrote this definitely gave me heavy Sarah J. Maas vibes. It also felt quite similar to the Cruel Prince (the way the fae were portrayed + the betrayal trope was used in a similar way to that series). I feel like Lexi Ryan gathered a bunch of popular romantasy tropes and things from popular fantasy series and dumped them all into this book 🙈🙈 I feel like you should know that before going in 😅 It's pretty typical ya fantasy. She sinks to her haunches in front of me and paints a salve on my cut. “You got this getting that money.” It’s not a question, so I don’t bother with a lie. “Are you okay?”Once upon a time, a golden faerie princess fell in love with the shadow king, but their kingdoms had battled for hundreds of years and her parents were sworn enemies of the king and his kingdom . . . Ahora, la cosa es que la única manera que tiene Brie de entrar a la corte de los Seelie es pretender ser una de las posibles novias del príncipe Ronan, que van a tener acceso al palacio durante un tiempo, pues la familia real le está buscando esposa. Al mismo tiempo, Brie se alía con una banda de rebeldes Unseelie, liderada por Finn, y trabajan juntos para recuperar esas reliquias. Poco a poco, Brie se va a ver envuelta en una especie de romance que no se esperó, tanto con Finn como con el príncipe Ronan, que además oculta un secreto que, cuando sale a la luz, cambia por completo la vida de Brie. I WANTED TO LOVE THIS BOOK, OKAY?? firstly, just LOOK at that cover eyy it's gorgeous. But that's about the only good thing about this. we have here a standard main heroine brie, who is speshul maximally by being duller and stupider than all the other girls altogether. she makes one illogical decision after another, she is annoying, hypocritical, but for some incomprehensible reason everyone loves her.
And then we have Prince Ronan, the Golden prince of the Seelie Court—the home of faeries of light and joy.I shake my head. I want to, but if Madame Vivias found Fawn living in the cellar with us, there would be horrible consequences—and not just for Jas and me. For Fawn too. “There has to be someone else.”
THE ROMANCE WAS OKAY but it mostly revolved around Brie and Sebastian and as I said previously, I just could not get over how sus Sebastian was acting. So that really ruined me feeling much for their relationship. I would classify this as low heat for romance standards and medium-high heat for YA standards. We open the story with Brie, who is a thief trying to keep her small family afloat. When her debts become too large, her little sis is sold to the fae. Pushing aside her hatred of the fae, Brie gets herself in the faerie court where she discovers: a secret about a long-time friend (and herself), that she suddenly has magic, and that the fae are manupulative creatures, as well as a little bit hot and charming. The story has got some great side characters too. Especially one goblin and Finn's band of misfits. They really bring in some humor. I really need more of them. TLDR: With its captivating plot, fantastical setting, and well-crafted love triangle, this is the perfect read for when you feel like escaping from reality for a spell. Now, as I'm sure y'all have heard somewhere (or right now, pfft) I love books that give me a... je ne sais pas. Especially when that je ne sais pas comes as acid rain, when the least I have at the moment is a darn umbrella. Did that make sense? Let's pretend it does. And that je ne sais pas (getting my points with Duolingo and Memrise, y'all. One of these days they'll kill me, I'm telling you) came in the form of me almost never reading a fantasy novel and I don't know... having huge mega incredible expectations for them?? Regardless of the fact that I don't read them as much??? Again, me being me??? Okay, so, yeah. This was a very very very, pleasant surprise. (I cannot believe I typed surpside instead of surprise twice)This was honestly a pretty fun read!! 🤩🤩 it definitely had its issues (I could not with the mc 🙈) and it wasnt super original, but it was really entertaining 🫶🫶 I frown. “What kind of work?” There’s none that can earn me the kind of money I need. None except—“I might as well work for Creighton Gorst if I’m going to do that.” I love that Brie kept her powers and unleashed them in the end. I just hope she doesn't get entangled by Sebastian again. I loved the world building. Like I said, I am a huge fan of Fae books and this one did not disappoint. Yeah, I loved Seelie and Unseelie courts and all the creatures. It works with familiar concepts, but I did not mind at all. I´ve enjoyed the folklore depicted in this book even though we just got to see a glimpse and I cannot wait to learn more about this world and its politics in the sequel. I love how Fae books always feel so.... fairy tale like.
Great Deal
